Stuart represents individuals and families who have been catastrophically injured or killed as a result of negligence, medical malpractice, dangerous products or defective drugs.. Since becoming partner, Stu has expanded his practice into consumer rights cases. A few examples include class actions on behalf of consumers that involved:. Stuart became passionate about consumer rights issues after his own encounters with unscrupulous businesses and experiencing firsthand the frustration that consumer can feel. Stu believes consumer class actions protect both the consumer and the honest business by identifying and punishing the bad business practices that harm the free market system.. "Consumer Class Action lawsuits are an important judicial mechanism for leveling the playing field against businesses that mislead, deceive and otherwise view customers as prey," he says. "Without these cases, dishonest businesses would profit through deception rather than by delivering a superior service or product."

I joined The Eisen Law Firm in 2007. My practice is narrowly focused on cases of medical negligence and wrongful death. I help people (and their families) fight for justice and fair compensation when they have been harmed by a medical mistake. I always remain directly involved and immediately available to my clients every step of the way.. Throughout my career, I have successfully handled cases in trial courts and appellate courts across Ohio, and I have gained significant experience in all aspects of civil litigation. In addition, I am familiar with all types of medical injuries – e.g., birth injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, etc.. On a personal note, I was born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, and I still live there today. I am an avid sports fan, and I enjoy (if that's possible) following all of the Cleveland teams, as well as playing golf, basketball, and tennis. Most of all, I like spending time with my wife and two children.
