We are so proud when the exceptional work of our lawyers is recognized by their peers in the legal community. On July 29, 2021, we celebrated at the Elite Trial Lawyers 2021 Awards Ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental in New York, NY, where Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight was recognized as the top Plaintiffs firm for both Employment Rights and Human Rights for 2021. That night, we also celebrated the recognition of San Francisco Partner Danielle Fuschetti, who was named a Rising Star of the Plaintiff’s Bar, along with Managing Partner Deborah K. Marcuse, who was recognized among the Elite Women of the Plaintiff’s Bar.

The Passing of Paul Tobias: A Legal Legend
The attorneys and staff at are profoundly saddened by the passing of National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) Founder Paul H. Tobias. Chairman David Sanford said, “I worked with Paul closely for years (in the late 90s and early 00s) litigating two race discrimination class actions in Ohio. In that context, I got to know Paul as a legal visionary, committed social justice warrior, and one of the sweetest souls I have ever known. Paul always made himself available to discuss legal theories, client complications, and strategic considerations. I always felt I was in the presence of a genuinely passionate advocate who placed the client first and who was determined, even at great personal cost, to do the right thing. We have lost a legal giant. I will miss Paul every day for the rest of my life.”
