Expertise
Trial work and medical malpractice
Stephen has spent decades trying personal injury and medical malpractice cases in New York, first on the defense side and for many years as plaintiffs’ counsel. His practice focuses on serious injury and wrongful death matters, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, construction accidents and product failures. He is known for meticulous case evaluation, deep command of medical records and the ability to explain complex medicine in clear terms to judges and juries.
Courtroom technology and trial presentation
Through YourTrialSupport.com Stephen has become a recognized resource for trial teams who want to replace paper binders and foam boards with fully digital trial books, synchronized exhibits and visual evidence. He helps lawyers convert thousands of pages of medical records and discovery into searchable, sequenced trial presentations and then sits in court as an experienced trial attorney running the technology, highlighting key records and suggesting strategic adjustments in real time.
Case development and strategy
Stephen assists firms with case organization, deposition preparation, focus group testing and mock trials, including online focus group work that uses modern feedback tools and structured juror input. Leading New York trial lawyers have described his contributions as invaluable in building persuasive narratives, preparing experts and achieving plaintiff favorable verdicts in complex malpractice trials.
Legal tech in the courtroom
As an early advocate of courtroom legal technology and a co-creator of the original Timeline Presenter app that led to Case Crafter, Stephen has been interviewed on legal podcasts such as The Trial Brief about how timeline based visual presentations and fully digital case files can change the way lawyers prepare and try cases, including in the era of remote and hybrid proceedings. In his work with Case Crafter he focuses on bringing those principles into a modern, actively developed trial presentation platform that gives more trial teams access to structured timelines and visual evidence tools.
Professional Journey
Stephen graduated from the Benjamin N Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in 1983 and was admitted to the New York bar in 1984. He began his career handling general insurance defense, medical, chiropractic, dental and podiatric malpractice, product liability, premises liability and commercial litigation, gaining broad experience in complex civil trials.
After many years on the defense side, he shifted his focus to plaintiffs’ trial and appellate practice, concentrating on medical malpractice and serious personal injury cases. In 1999 he opened his own firm, now the Law Office of Stephen P. Haber, which represents injured plaintiffs across New York City, Long Island, Westchester and surrounding counties.
As his practice evolved, Stephen adopted a fully paperless approach and began using digital tools in every case, which naturally led to the creation of YourTrialSupport.com. Today he splits his time between his own cases, consulting as a trial presentation and strategy partner for other plaintiff firms and working closely with the Case Crafter team on the design and use of courtroom focused legal technology.
