Our Team

At the Feeney Law Firm, we understand that filing a legal action and becoming involved in a lawsuit can seem overwhelming, especially if you are a parent or grandparent caring for a child who requires additional help and resources. That is why we have teamed up with Grant & Eisenhofer and their group of birth injury attorneys, headed by director Lisa Weinstein, to offer our clients the best legal representation. We are here to help make that process as simple as possible for you and your family. Please do not be intimidated by attorneys working on behalf of large hospitals or insurance companies. Our goal is to level the playing field and fight for your child.

The team at Grant & Eisenhofer, led by Lisa Weinstein, has successfully obtained numerous settlements for clients. Ms. Weinstein’s track record includes more than three dozen cases where she helped obtain settlements and verdicts totaling over $300 million for clients whose children were injured at birth. Those awards have helped families pay for long term care, medical treatments, therapies, medications, assistive equipment and so much more. Some of those awards are highlighted below:
