Eric A. Shore

For more than 30 years, Eric A. Shore has done one thing with singular focus — fight for the people who need it most.

As the founder and president of the Law Offices of Eric A. Shore, Eric has built one of the most respected plaintiff-side law firms in the mid-Atlantic region — a practice that has served over 40,000 clients and recovered more than $250 million in settlements and lifetime benefits for people who have been injured, disabled, or wronged by their employers. His firm operates under the nationally recognized number 1-800-CANT-WORK, a name that captures the firm's entire mission in a single phrase.

Eric Shore is not a billboard attorney. He is a board-certified, peer-recognized, nationally awarded advocate who has spent three decades in the courtroom and at the negotiating table fighting for everyday people across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida, and beyond.

A Career Built on Fighting for Everyday People Eric Shore earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1994 — one of the nation's top-ranked law programs — after graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. That academic foundation, built at two elite institutions, gave him the analytical rigor and disciplined thinking that has defined his career ever since.

He founded the Law Offices of Eric A. Shore in 1999 and has led it as President and Managing Attorney ever since. Under his leadership, the firm has grown from a single office into a multi-location practice with offices in Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, Atlantic City, Drexel Hill, and Fort Lauderdale — serving clients across the mid-Atlantic and nationwide for disability matters.

Nationally Recognized. Peer Approved. Client Trusted. Eric Shore's record of excellence has earned him recognition from the most respected legal organizations in the country. He has been a member of Best Lawyers in America continuously since 2020 — recognized in four categories including Employment Law, Personal Injury Litigation, Workers' Compensation, and Labor and Employment Litigation — and has been named to both the 2025 and 2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in America, an honor based entirely on exhaustive peer review.

His additional recognitions include selection to The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 for both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, a perfect 10.0 Avvo Rating, the Martindale-Hubbell Client Champion Gold Award, designation as a Top One Percent by the National Association of Trial Lawyers, and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. His firm has accumulated over 1,000 five-star client reviews across Google and Avvo — a reflection of the genuine care and results his team delivers every day.

Board Certified in Social Security Disability Law Eric Shore holds Board Certification from the National Board of Social Security Disability Advocacy — a distinguished credential that places him among a select group of attorneys nationwide with verified, specialized expertise in Social Security Disability law. He is also a Sustaining Member of the National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives and administers Social Security Disability Tips, a digital community of more than 30,000 members dedicated to educating the public about disability benefits.

This depth of specialization means that when a client comes to Eric Shore with a denied SSDI claim, a disputed long-term disability policy, or a veterans disability matter, they are working with one of the most credentialed disability attorneys in the country.
