Last Updated: July 2010

Stember Feinstein Doyle Payne & Cordes, LLC offers innovative, client-centered, and cost-effective representation in a number of areas:

Employment Litigation - We litigate sexual harassment, discrimination, ERISA (pension and benefits), Family and Medical Leave Act, wage/overtime, and other types of employment cases. We have brought successful cases against many major employers, including Bayer, USX, GE, CMU, the University of Pittsburgh, UPMC, and Western Penn Hospital.

Executives and Professionals - We represent executives and professionals in negotiating employment contracts and severance packages, and we will help enforce your contract or defend you against non-competition claims.

Class and Collective Actions - We protect the rights of employees, retirees, consumers, and investors through class and collective actions. By consolidating claims into a single class action, people with smaller individual claims can obtain counsel with the talent, experience, and resources to hold well-funded corporate wrongdoers accountable. We have a wealth of experience in successfully litigating class actions.

Labor Law - We represent unions in the full range of labor matters and in class actions involving employee benefits, healthcare and pensions.

Education and Civil Rights - We represent students in educational matters and individuals in civil rights cases

We will provide you with individual attention and will work closely with you through each stage of your case. Once we have met and discussed your situation:

We will assess your case honestly and help you select the most appropriate course of action;
Where possible, we will try to negotiate an early resolution; and
Where necessary, our experienced and aggressive attorneys will provide you with the full range of litigation options.


Twelve dedicated and experienced litigators make up our firm: John Stember, Edward J. Feinstein, Ellen M. Doyle, William T. Payne, Pamina Ewing, Stephen M. Pincus, Joel R. Hurt, Jonathan K. Cohn, Maureen Davidson-Welling, Janice Pintar, Tybe Ann Brett and Lawrence A. Frolik.  A strong legal support staff helps our attorneys provide you with all aspects of top-notch service.  We also rely on state-of-the-art technology.
