George Donnelly Joins Personal Injury Law Firm Feldman Shepherd

Philadelphia personal injury law firm Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig LLP is pleased to announce that attorney George A. Donnelly has joined our practice.

Donnelly represents individuals and families in all manner of litigation involving catastrophic personal injury, civil rights cases, consumer class action cases, whistleblower claims and qui tam lawsuits under the False Claims Act.

Donnelly joins Feldman Shepherd with a well-earned reputation as a formidable advocate in the public service sector. Previously, he served as Chief of Staff for Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval, where his extensive accomplishments included: securing more than $100 million in competitive grants for the First District for public interest projects; leading the team that created the first-in-the-nation Whole Home Repairs program, funded at an initial $125 million, to offer income-eligible homeowners funds for critical home repairs; and providing constituent services to thousands of Philadelphians.

Earlier in his career, he served as an attorney at the Public Interest Law Center, where he pioneered the use of consumer protection laws in tenant rights cases, and before that, as a Judicial Clerk for the Honorable Stewart Dalzell of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Donnelly earned both his B.A. magna cum laude and his Juris Doctor magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania. While in law school, he was a Toll Public Interest Scholar and the recipient of the Benjamin R. Jones Award for most outstanding contribution to the public interest, the Dolores K. Sloviter Prize for best paper in the field of judicial administration, and the Philadelphia Bar Association Public Interest Award.

“We are delighted to have George join our firm, which is stronger and deeper than it has ever been,” said Co-Managing Partner Alan M. Feldman. “His experience in government and with the public interest sector will add another dimension to how we support and serve our clients.”

“I am thrilled to join the talented team at Feldman Shepherd. Their unwavering pursuit of justice for those who have been harmed through no fault of their own connects with my passion for public service and for using my advocacy to empower others. I could not be more excited to get started,” said Donnelly.
