Kevin P. O'Brien

A partner at Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Holloway in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, Kevin P. O’Brien is renowned for his prowess as a trial lawyer and frequently called upon by colleagues to take the helm as lead counsel when complex civil matters approach trial. His practice is dedicated to representing individuals, families and businesses who have suffered catastrophic harm or loss – ranging from serious personal injuries and wrongful deaths to medical malpractice, product‐liability defects, construction‐site accidents, and automobile and trucking collisions.

Among the most distinguished chapters of Mr. O’Brien’s career are his groundbreaking litigations on behalf of infants who tragically succumbed to asphyxia or suffocation associated with inclined sleeper devices and victims of severe burn and scald injuries caused by defective pressure cookers – both product categories later subject to Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls.

Mr. O’Brien’s tenacity in the courtroom has produced some of the largest verdicts and settlements in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including a $55 million wrongful-death award in a trucking collision, a $40 million verdict in a separate fatal truck accident, a $33 million recovery in another transportation matter and significant results in product liability and workplace‐injury disputes. Many of his firm’s highest‐value outcomes remain confidential, reflecting the trust placed in him to secure maximum compensation for clients under confidentiality agreements.

A 2007 graduate of Boston College and 2011 Juris Doctor from Widener University School of Law, Mr. O’Brien is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. He has tried numerous jury and bench cases nationwide, including negligent security, maritime wrongful death and premises‐liability actions – and has achieved substantial awards for clients through arbitration and mediation forums. An active member of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association and the Pennsylvania Association for Justice, he is also recognized with a “Superb” rating on Avvo.
