Philip Elberg, Esq.

President, International Cultic Studies Association

 

Philip Elberg, Esq., President of ICSA, is a partner in the Newark, New Jersey law firm of Medvin and Elberg. He represented several plaintiffs in a lawsuit against Kids of North Jersey, a treatment center for adolescents with "behavior disorders." The case was initiated as a medical malpractice action but evolved into a claim that the treatment center operated as a destructive cult for the benefit of its founder, Miller Newton. The case was settled on the eve of trial for $4,500,000. A reported New Jersey Court decision describes Mr. Elberg's work on the case as "heroic." He currently represents another patient of the same facility who was treated at Kids for thirteen years and has become committed to obtaining public awareness of the potentially dangerous practices of some adolescent treatment facilities.

Philip Elberg, Esq., Président de l’ICSA, est associé du bureau d’avocats de Medvin and Ellberg. Il a représenté plusieurs demandeurs dans la poursuite contre Kids of New Jersey, un centre de thérapie pour adolescents avec des «troubles de comportement». Initiée avec une accusation pour faute médicale professionnelle, avec l’évolution de la cause, il a été allégué que le centre fonctionnait comme une secte destructive au bénéfice de son fondateur, Miller Newton. La cause s’est réglée la veille du procès pour 4 500 000 $. Une décision de la Cour du New Jersey décrit le travail de Me Elberg dans cette cause comme «héroïque». Il représente actuellement un autre patient du même centre qui y a été traité pendant 13 ans et s’est engagé à sensibiliser le public au sujet des pratiques potentiellement dangereuses de certains centres de thérapie pour adolescents.
