Biography

About Steve W. Berman

Steve Berman is a nationally renowned class-action lawyer who has dedicated his career to fighting for consumers, investors, employees and other plaintiffs harmed by corporate misconduct. As co-founder and managing partner of Hagens Berman, Steve has led some of the most influential and complex litigation in state and federal courts, securing settlements valued at hundreds of billions of dollars and obtaining historic reforms across a wide range of industries.

Steve's trial experience has earned him significant recognition and led The National Law Journal to name him one of the 100 most powerful lawyers in the nation, and to repeatedly name Hagens Berman one of the top 10 plaintiffs’ firms in the country.

Since founding the firm in 1993, Steve has consistently undertaken high-stakes cases others wouldn’t. He launched Hagens Berman after his former firm refused to represent several children who became seriously ill after eating fast food tainted with E. coli. Steve fought against Jack in the Box, alleging its negligence and cost-cutting were to blame — a case that helped define his mission to represent those most in need.

Known for securing industry-changing results and some of the largest settlements in world and U.S. history, Steve has built a reputation as one of the nation’s most effective and innovative plaintiffs’ attorneys.
