A Law Firm Devoted Exclusively to
Wrongful Death
Patrick Steinfeld is one of the few attorneys in the country whose practice is dedicated solely to wrongful death cases. Every case the firm accepts involves the death of a loved one and the fight for justice that follows.
This singular focus gives the firm a deep understanding of what it takes to handle the most serious and emotionally complex cases. It ensures that every family's loss is acknowledged, every memory honored, and every case reflects the full measure of what was taken... and what will never be.
While the firm does not accept standalone personal injury cases, it does represent surviving family members who were injured in the same incident that caused a wrongful death. In these cases, the injury claim is part of a broader fatal accident case. Every case the firm handles involves a fatal accident.
A Personal Loss That Changed Everything
Patrick Steinfeld was just 9 years old when his 10-year-old brother...his hero... died tragically during recess in front of his entire fifth-grade class. The loss devastated his family and left a silence that ran deeper than grief. There was no one to help as his family fractured under the weight of pain, anger, and unspoken resentment.
That experience never left him.
Years later, Patrick made a decision few attorneys ever make: to dedicate his legal career to helping families who have suffered the ultimate loss. For more than 35 years, he has helped families find justice, create accountability, and ensure their loved one is never forgotten.
