The Next Generations - Jay and Leah Edelstein carry on the tradition of Nathan and Edward
As seen in 2023 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Magazine, Jay and Leah Edelstein carry on the legacy of Nathan and Edward Edelstein through their impressive and reputable careers in law.
“The Edelsteins still are. Now 27, Leah is a plaintiff-side med-mal attorney at Wapner Newman Brecher & Miller; her father Jay, 68, a longtime insurance defense lawyer who is now also known for his multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements in cases involving sexual abuse and assault, practices at Edelstein Law. The family presence has been in Philly since 1928, starting with Jay’s grandfather Nathan, an old-school legal eagle who specialized in wills, estates and trusts.”
Excerpt below:
To young Leah Edelstein, her grandfather Edward was simply a “goofy, lovable guy” who collected Mickey Mouse curios and was delighted when she wore her Minnie Mouse dress during visits. “It was not until his funeral, when I was about 15 years old, that I turned around and saw that there was a line of people literally wrapped around the block to pay tribute to him,” Leah says. “It was in that moment that it hit me: ‘Wow, this is a really big deal.’”
