Greg Stokes has almost two decades of experience in litigating high exposure personal injury cases in state and federal courts. Prior to joining Green & Schafle, Greg was a managing partner at a preeminent defense firm in Philadelphia. Greg headed national trial teams for some of the biggest insurance companies, defending claims brought against manufacturers, suppliers, premises owners, and employers. Greg was “the” trial lawyer for the insurance industry, becoming an expert in the defense of claims brought by injured individuals. Now, Greg brings his knowledge and experience in defending high risk cases to the team to represent those seriously injured because of the negligence of companies.
During his time as a defense lawyer, Greg litigated and obtained verdicts in some of the most complex and difficult cases. If there was a case that could not be defended, the insurance industry would turn to Greg. In many instances, Greg would be brought in to try a case or negotiate a case at the “eleventh hour.” Greg worked tirelessly for his clients and with opposing counsel to obtain results when others could not.
