Joel Feller - Ross Feller Casey

Joel Feller represents individuals and their families who have suffered catastrophic injury including those that result in life-changing debilitating conditions and disabilities, death, and other consequences.

“From my earliest point in childhood that I could remember, I wanted to practice law. I always believed that people who had been injured needed a voice.” 

Feller's successes have benefitted not only his clients but others as a result of his efforts to change the policy of medical practice and public safety issues. Significant and potentially life-saving changes in post-surgery medical monitoring were one of the results of the case where a family was devastated by the loss of their daughter Mariah following a surgical procedure. Media coverage included an ABC news affiliate special investigation that told the story of the family and results of the litigation.

The national media spotlight shone brightly on the firm's successful representation of victims in the Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse cases. The delicate cases mixed with national attention would be challenging for any law firm, but Feller and his partners were in their element and are revered for their conduct and result in the cases.
