Our Legal Team

Rob Sachs, Jr. is the managing partner of the Philadelphia law firm of Shrager, Sachs, & Blanco. His practice is limited exclusively to plaintiffs’ complex personal injury claims.

For five years, Rob served as one of Pennsylvania's Governors on the Board of the American Association for Justice. From 2010-2013, he served as Chair of the Publications Committee which publishes Trial magazine. From 2011-2012, he was elected Chairman of the AAJ Nursing Home Litigation Group. In 2012 he completed a three year term on the Board of the AAJ Truck Litigation Group. Rob served for over a decade on the Board of the Pennsylvania Association for Justice as well as the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers' Association. He has also served on the Board of Directors of Public Justice Foundation (headquartered in Washington, D.C. and Oakland, CA) and SeniorLaw Center (headquartered in Philadelphia, PA), both of which are non-profit public interest boards which support public interest legal organizations.

The attorney you choose makes a difference. In medical malpractice litigation, it is the most important decision you will make. Theresa Blanco has the kind of experience and compassion that will see you through the case, beginning to end. The daughter of dedicated high-school teachers, she was the first American-born member of her father’s family, who emigrated from Cuba as refugees in the early 1960’s.

She hit the ground running after graduation working with Eaton & McClellan, with a series of cases which changed the way medical malpractice cases are litigated, how patients and families are compensated, and how cases against hospitals are proven. Admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1996, she has spent the last 25 years litigating medical malpractice cases not only in Pennsylvania, but all over the country.

In Memoriam

David S. Shrager was a familiar face – not only in Philadelphia legal circles, but among personal injury attorneys nationwide. With his passing in 2005, our firm lost more than an outstanding leader, unwavering advocate, and brilliant litigator – we lost a dear friend.

Though David asked to be remembered simply as “an honest lawyer who just tried to help people,” he left a much more significant legacy. In Philadelphia, many colleagues remember him as a caring mentor and a “trial lawyer’s lawyer” who always took the time to provide sage advice.
