Nancy Hersh: Championing Justice and Women’s Healthcare
Over four decades ago, a fearless father and daughter team, LeRoy and Nancy Hersh, founded Hersh & Hersh. They built this firm to provide dedicated legal representation to people and families who suffered harm. When you look at the career of Nancy Hersh attorney at law, you see a relentless drive to secure justice for injured people. Together with her father, LeRoy (1920-2003), she created a legacy of compassionate, fierce advocacy.
Breaking barriers as one of the first female professionals in her field, Nancy forged a new path as a personal injury lawyer. She channels her tenacity, determination, and deep empathy into fighting for social justice. Throughout her career, she has focused intensely on women’s healthcare. We see her passion come alive when she stands up for clients injured by dangerous drugs and medical devices, including IUDs and other harmful products.
Her dedication shines through a track record of historic legal victories. Nancy routinely tackles complex cases to protect consumers. She led groundbreaking DES litigation to secure justice for families affected by the drug given to pregnant women. Furthermore, she won the first of many breast implant cases, successfully establishing the connection between silicone and severe physical injuries. She also filed and settled the very first case in the national Diet Drug litigation involving Fen-Phen.
Nancy built a strong legal foundation with a B.A. from the University of California and a J.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Her leadership extends well beyond the courtroom and into the broader legal community. She is an active member of the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association and proudly serves as President of the American Board of Trial Advocates. Through her decades of service, Nancy continues to use the law as a powerful tool to protect the vulnerable and demand accountability.
Throughout her career she has been a passionate advocate, using the law to address women’s healthcare issues and other areas of social justice.
