About Stephen Raynes

Stephen Raynes has distinguished himself in his representation of clients in serious injury and wrongful death cases, often in high profile cases, which he has done with a sensitivity and commitment to confidentiality. He has achieved million dollar and multi-million dollar recoveries on behalf of his individual clients more than 90 times in the areas of general personal injury, medical malpractice, and product liability. He has repeatedly been selected as one of the top 100 “Super Lawyers” not only in Philadelphia but throughout Pennsylvania. For 2021-2022, Mr. Raynes has been recognized as the Medical Malpractice Lawyer of the Year, in recognition of being the lawyer with the highest overall peer feedback. Every year since 2008, he has been selected by his peers for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America. He has been inducted into the American Board of Trial Advocates, a nationally recognized organization of distinguished trial lawyers. Mr. Raynes also served on the Raynes McCarty team representing the family of the late Olympic wrestler David Schultz who was shot and killed by John duPont. He was co-counsel in the New York Stock Exchange litigation prosecuted on behalf of all the NYSE seatholders challenging the terms of a multi-billion dollar deal that had been struck by the Exchange’s Board of Directors and its investment advisor. From 2013 through 2015, Mr. Raynes led a pro bono Campaign against the Canadian government on behalf of the 94 living Canadian Thalidomide survivors. That Campaign garnered national attention in the Canadian press and led to a historic unanimous vote by the Canadian Parliament and the securing of a $180 million Fund for the Canadian Thalidomide survivors.
