Les Weisbrod

Partner Attorney

---

Les has worked with his law partner Clay Miller for years to build a one-of-a-kind law firm.

Miller Weisbrod Olesky provides unique and unparalleled services to families of birth-injured and brain-injured children from the moment the firm decides to take the case.

The registered nurses and registered nurse-attorneys on staff are valuable team members who assist Miller Weisbrod Olesky birth injury clients. Les has designed a system where each birth injured child is assigned a nurse-attorney liaison to guide them through the process of medical treatment/evaluation, therapies, home assistance, and quality of life improvement.

Miller Weisbrod Olesky's unmatched service allows families to better cope with the immediate challenges facing our young clients.

Birth-injured children and their families are Les and Miller Weisbrod’s priority.

Les and the attorneys at Miller Weisbrod Olesky fight for the justice their clients are entitled to under our nation’s system of justice.

This fighting spirit has taken Les across the United States to represent clients in birth injury and medical negligence cases. In fact, he has personally handled cases not only in Texas but also in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah, Iowa, Ohio, Oregon, Montana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, New York, and Washington State.

Les and Miller Weisbrod Olesky continue to expand their reach of helping brain injured children to new states each year as we strive to bring a sense of justice to each affected family.

And Les is not the only one who notices he fights for his clients. Michael Rustad, a Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston who has done extensive research on punitive damage awards, says:

“Les Weisbrod has obtained more medical malpractice punitive damage jury verdicts for his clients than any other attorney in the United States.”

Also, a well-known defense medical malpractice attorney dubbed Les Weisbrod the “pitbull” of the Texas medical malpractice bar in a media profile of Les published by a major newspaper.

Les shares his experience and knowledge to improve the representation of all birth-injured children and their families.

In the early 1990s, Les recognized that a more focused effort needed to be made to educate attorneys who handle birth injury cases. As a result, Les was the founding Co-Chair of the American Association for Justice (AAJ) - Birth Trauma Litigation Group in 1991. He also was a founding Co-Chair of AAJ’s Medical Negligence Litigation Group in 1999 and served as Chair of AAJ’s Professional Negligence Section in 1996.

Combined, these groups have put on more than a hundred continuing education seminars across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. helping to educate other attorneys by bringing in world-renowned experts in the fields of:

• labor and delivery
• neonatal care
• the care and treatment of birth injured children, including those suffering from cerebral palsy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)

Education and professional experiences back up his dedication to helping children and families harmed by medical malpractice.

Les received his B.A. magna cum laude in 1975 from Claremont Men’s College and his J.D. in 1978 from Southern Methodist University Law School

He is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law.

Les was a past president of the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association in 1993. He has been a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association Board of Directors since 1990.

His work with the American Association for Justice (AAJ) (formerly ATLA) includes serving as President, President-Elect, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Parliamentarian. Mr. Weisbrod has also served on the AAJ Board of Governors since 1998 and the 17-member Executive Committee of AAJ 2001-2010. In 1990, he was chosen as a Rising Star of the ATLA and presented a paper entitled “Dirt and Greed: A New Look at Medical Malpractice Cases.”

Les has written and lectured extensively on birth injury litigation, medical malpractice, and medical product topics.

Les is a contributing author to the 1996 text Operative Obstetrics published by Williams & Wilkins. He also co-authored the “Drugs & Medical Devices” chapter in AAJ’s Litigating Tort Cases. A complete list of his published works appears below.

He also has lectured to lawyer groups across the U.S., Canada, England, Europe, and Australia.
