Stark & Stark's Krawitz Named to Simon's Heart Board

Simon’s Heart announced it has named Stark & Stark Shareholder Jeffrey A. Krawitz, Esq., to its Advisory Board. Based in Conshohocken, Pa., the nonprofit organization has a mission to create and advance programs, policies and research that prevent sudden cardiac arrest and death in children, teens and young adults.

Mr. Krawitz and his family, who reside in Montgomery County, have been involved with Simon’s Heart for 15 years. After attending one of the organization’s first heart screenings, Mr. Krawitz’s daughter discovered she had a hole in her heart that required surgical repair; she was also diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome. His family’s involvement with Simon’s Heart has included serving on the planning committee for special fundraiser events and his role on the board will allow him to help expand and grow the organization’s awareness nationally and globally.

“To be involved with Simon’s Heart since the beginning, and to now serve on the board, is an incredible honor,” Mr. Krawitz said. “I am excited to help Simon’s Heart grow beyond a local organization. I would like to see it help mandate heart screenings for babies, school-aged kids, athletes and others.”

A member of Stark & Stark’s Accident & Personal Injury Group in Yardley, Pa., Jeffrey Krawitz concentrates his practice in casualty litigation focusing on complex injury matters, coverage issues and bad faith claims, as well as professional liability claims with an emphasis on medical negligence. He also litigates claims arising from motor vehicle and commercial transportation accidents, many of which involve catastrophic damages. His work includes extensive experience in both state and federal courts in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Mr. Krawitz holds a J.D. from Temple University School of Law. In addition to serving on Simon’s Heart’s board, he is also a board member for the Family Lives on Foundation and Ply-Mark Swim and Tennis Club.

“To me, this is all about saving children and saving lives,” he added. “I am looking forward to seeing how Simon’s Heart grows in the next 15 years.”
