Norman Steiner

Norm was born in the Bronx, New York. His upbringing made him aware early in life that he wanted to represent, protect, and fight for people who needed help. After completing military service in the Israeli Defense Forces and then receiving a Bachelor’s Degree from Pratt Institutes School of Architecture in Brooklyn, Norm pursued his life-long dream and entered New York Law School. When he graduated, Norm was fortunate to be hired by the Legal Aid Societies Criminal Defense Department in Manhattan. Norm quickly rose to a Senior Trial Attorney and a Trial Trainer. Four years as a Public Defender served as a valuable foundation for learning courtroom skills and understanding client’s needs. Norm’s talents were then put to use when he served as Trial Counsel for what was then a leading Personal Injury Firm in New York, specializing in medical malpractice and toxic torts. Norm is often called upon to try cases for other personal injury firms, and has tried approximately 50 cases before juries. He has received large verdicts and settlements, including those well over one million dollars. He has obtained acquittals on murder, assault, and drug cases, among others. Norm is also an avid amateur boxer who still competes in the Masters Division of USA Boxing. He holds an FAA issued Airline Transport License and is an accomplished blues harmonica player. He believes that combining skills from the ring, his prior career of flying, and music, allows him to go “off code” of how many lawyers practice and abide by The Steiner Law Firm, PLLC, mantra of “keeping it real.”

Arthur Eliav

He interned with Norm over 20 years ago, gaining invaluable courtroom exposure that most law students could only dream of. By the time Arthur graduated, he had already second-chaired multiple major felony trials, participating in every phase from jury selection to verdict. His early immersion in complex, high-stakes litigation gave him a level of experience far beyond his years. After earning his J.D. and being admitted to the New York Bar, Arthur began his legal career defending municipalities in civil rights and tort litigation, where he sharpened his procedural knowledge and mastered the art of motion practice and trial strategy. From there, he transitioned into plaintiff’s personal injury law, bringing his litigation instincts to bear in the fight for individuals and families seeking justice. His ability to analyze the heart of a case, connect with clients, and persuasively present a narrative in court quickly distinguished him as a powerful advocate. Arthur’s combination of courtroom prowess, tactical intelligence, and deep empathy for his clients made him a trusted litigator in both civil and criminal courts. His loyalty to his clients, understanding of the law, and dedication to achieving results have not only earned him the respect of colleagues and judges alike but also cemented a bond with Norman Steiner that has lasted for more than two decades. Together, they have been “brothers in arms,” navigating the legal battlefield side by side with unmatched intensity, integrity, and purpose.
