Personal injury law is about more than courtroom arguments. It is about people, advocacy, and the ability to fight for those whose lives have been disrupted by injury, loss, or injustice. At its core, this work requires not only legal knowledge, but also resilience, empathy, and the courage to speak up for others when they cannot speak for themselves.
Across Philadelphia and New Jersey, women attorneys are not just participating in this demanding field, they are redefining what it means to be an advocate. They bring fresh perspectives, sharp intellect, and a deep understanding of the human side of every case. Whether it’s representing a family after a tragic accident in Cherry Hill or helping an injured worker in Center City, women lawyers are showing that strength and compassion go hand in hand.
Their presence in personal injury law is more than representation. It is a statement. It is a powerful reminder that leadership does not have to look or sound one way. Women attorneys are breaking barriers, mentoring the next generation, and reshaping the way clients experience the legal system. They’re raising the bar not just for legal excellence, but for how justice is delivered with clarity, conviction, and care.
From the negotiation table to the courtroom, women are making a lasting impact, proving that success in this field isn’t defined by volume or aggression, but by results, integrity, and the ability to truly advocate for others.
Take Mary LeMieux-Fillery, Esq., for example. With a strong work ethic and a reputation for compassion, she represents clients across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She is not only a Certified Arbitrator and Editor-in-Chief of the Philadelphia Bar Reporter, but also a Top 100 Civil Plaintiff Attorney and Pro Bono Honoree. Her clients speak highly of her clarity, calm presence, and relentless drive to get results.
Then there is Phyllis Widman, a veteran of more than 25 years in civil and criminal litigation. Her background includes complex work in vaccine injury law in Federal Court, and she brings that same focus to personal injury cases across New Jersey. From Atlantic City to the suburbs of Burlington County, Phyllis is known for her approachable style and her fierce commitment to getting justice for her clients.
Women like Mary and Phyllis are proving that personal injury law is stronger when it includes diverse voices and lived experience. They bring empathy to the process without ever compromising on results. They ask the hard questions, build strong legal strategies, and walk with their clients every step of the way.
Their work is more than just legal representation. It is leadership, advocacy, and service-qualities that raise the standard for personal injury law across the region.
