Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi & Cain

Overview

<p>Stewart Tilghman Fox Bianchi &amp; Cain, P.A. has operated as a plaintiff personal-injury and civil trial firm from downtown Miami since 1984. The firm's eight attorneys carry 150-plus years of combined litigation experience and maintain a deliberately limited caseload—averaging roughly ten active matters per attorney—across a docket spanning catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, birth injury, products liability, hazing, maritime, and civil RICO claims.</p><p>The firm's standing within the organized plaintiff trial bar is nationally documented. Two founding members—Larry S. Stewart and Gary D. Fox—hold membership in the Inner Circle of Advocates, an invitation-only body capped at one hundred plaintiff trial attorneys nationally; the firm identifies itself as the only Florida practice with two simultaneous members in that organization. Fox earned Florida Bar Board Certification in Civil Trial Law in 1984 and has appeared in The Best Lawyers in America continuously since 1999. He was inducted into the Lawdragon Hall of Fame in 2017, one of fifty-two litigation attorneys so honored in that class. Partner David W. Bianchi received the Florida Chapters of the American Board of Trial Advocates (FLABOTA) Trial Lawyer of the Year designation in 2025, joining Stewart (1993) and Fox (2013) as firm attorneys to hold that title—three separate award years within the same practice group.</p><p>The firm's published trial record includes a $650 million civil RICO verdict, a $17.3 million wrongful death recovery, a $16.5 million brain injury award, and a $14 million hazing verdict described at the time as the largest of its kind in the country. David Bianchi is also credited with obtaining what the firm describes as the first verdict in the country against Mercedes-Benz in a defective airbag case. These results are drawn from the firm's own published case materials; prior outcomes do not predict results in future matters.</p><p>U.S. News&ndash;Best Lawyers&reg; ranks the firm at Tier 1 in Miami for both Personal Injury Litigation&ndash;Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation&ndash;Plaintiffs. The firm holds a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating and appears on the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers list. Its practice extends nationally and to international jurisdictions including the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Australia, and Peru. The American Association for Justice carries the firm in its member directory.</p>
