About Norman J.
Norman J. Weinstein studied at Georgetown University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree, and later trained as a lawyer at Temple University Beasley School of Law, receiving his J.D. His education combined a broad undergraduate grounding with legal training in Philadelphia, and it set the stage for a practice centered in Pennsylvania courts.
After law school Weinstein built a career that led him to an Of Counsel role at Galfand Berger, LLP. In that capacity he draws on long-standing ties to the Philadelphia legal community and a steady involvement in courtroom work. His position as Of Counsel allows him to advise on complex matters and to support trial teams when cases move toward litigation.
Weinstein’s professional life is closely tied to several bar and trial organizations. He is a current member of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, the Philadelphia Bar Association, the American Association for Justice and the Pennsylvania Association for Justice. Those memberships keep him connected to developments in trial procedure, evidence law and professional standards. They also place him in regular contact with other litigators across the state.
Colleagues and clients find Weinstein’s practice grounded in practical courtroom experience. He often participates in pretrial strategy and hearing preparation. He handles motions and evidentiary issues and is present for bench and jury proceedings when matters proceed to trial. The work requires not only knowledge of substantive law but also familiarity with local court customs and scheduling—areas where Weinstein has longstanding familiarity.
Weinstein maintains a presence across eastern Pennsylvania. He works out of a Philadelphia office and has practice locations that include Reading, Lancaster and the Allentown-Bethlehem area. He also operates from a space at the USW Local 6996 Hall. Those offices allow him to meet clients and appear in courts across multiple counties without long travel times for those he represents.
Peers describe Weinstein as a steady courtroom lawyer who prefers direct, plainspoken advocacy to rhetoric. He balances case preparation, courtroom appearances and client consultations. His ongoing memberships in trial-focused organizations reflect that orientation. He currently serves as Of Counsel at Galfand Berger, LLP and represents clients in Pennsylvania courts, handling matters that proceed through hearings and trials as needed.
