Alan NOTICES
was a passionate trial
attorney, but he prioritized his family above
all else. After marrying at a young age, he be-
came the father of three children and eventu-
ally, five grandchildren. In his private life out-
side of the courtroom, Alan revealed his true
nature: a quirky, loving, “softy.” His children
recall his fascination with useless gadgets
he’d impulsively purchase from catalogues,
his penchant for starting embarrassing con-
versations at the dinner table, and his willing-
ness to cede the upper hand when negotiat-
ing their punishments for adolescent infrac-
tions. While Alan enjoyed many interests and
activities—such as travel, skiing, golf, sports
cars, and desserts—spending time with his
family was his greatest joy. Alan took his
family on many vacations and chose vaca-
tion homes with his family’s interest in mind,
incentivising their joyful participation. “Your
children are going to think you are a rockstar
from when they are born until they turn about
14 or 15 years old. Then other
distractions––their friends, love interests,
school, activities, careers, children—take pri-
ority. While they may still love you, the time
they spend with you becomes less and less.

But no matter what it costs, no matter how
much work you might have, it’s important to
spend time with your family and create
memories.” Alan’s goal was to create
memories, with the understanding that “long
after you’re gone, those memories endure
forever.” Throughout his eventful life, Alan
never lost his perspective or took himself too
seriously. He was quick-witted and found hu-
mor in everything, even the dark moments.

He lived life to the fullest and was a pillar of
wisdom, support, and advice for his entire
extended family. His indomitable spirit never
wavered as he fought multiple myeloma gal-
lantly over the past several years with the
love and support of his family and friends.

Alan is survived by his wife, Elaine Schwartz;
his three children, Carrie (Steven) Leskowitz,
Lisa Schwartz, and Todd (Susan) Schwartz;
grandchildren Jason (Kira) and Dylan Bell,
and Zachary, Gabrielle and Emerson
Schwartz; brothers Ronald (Sandra)
Schwartz and Stephen (Renée) Schwartz; and
numerous nieces and nephews. Alan is also
survived by his former wife and the mother of
his children, Jeanette Schwartz. The

Alan Schwartz, a prominent Philadelphia trial
attorney and a founding partner of the law
firm, Anapol, Schwartz, Weiss & Schwartz
(now known as Anapol Weiss), passed away
on November 13, 2018 at the age of 80 after
a long battle with multiple myeloma. Alan led
a life of accomplishment and contribution
marked by an unrelenting commitment to law
and equal access to justice for victims of
medical malpractice and personal injuries.

Alan was born in West Philadelphia on May
5, 1938 to Goodman and Nettie (Ingerman)
Schwartz. He was the middle son, sand-
wiched between older brother Ronald and
younger brother Stephen. Despite a difficult
childhood and adolescence burdened by fin-
ancial hardship, Alan remained committed to
achieving his long-term goals. After graduat-
ing from Overbrook High School, Alan served
in the United States Air Force and the
Pennsylvania Air National Guard Reserve
while concurrently earning his undergradu-
ate and law degrees from Temple University
(B.S.,1960; LL.B., 1963). Alan’s passion for
the law was an integral part of his identity. He
was widely respected throughout the Phil-
adelphia-area legal community as a tena-
cious, intimidating competitor with a wry
sense of humor. In the courtroom, he dis-
played thorough preparation, remarkable at-
tention to detail, and an exceptional ability to
convey complex, technical information to jur-
ies and judges in a persuasive, easily under-
standable manner. Over his long and distin-
guished legal career, Alan represented many
families who suffered morbid and mortal in-
juries due to personal and medical negli-
gence. Alan was a dynamic speaker and con-
summate storyteller who zealously and pas-
sionately advocated for his clients, often win-
ning multi-million- dollar jury verdicts on
their behalf. Alan enthusiastically engaged in
cutting edge, precedent-setting litigation. He
successfully argued before the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court and changed the state law to
allow parents to recover for the death of their
viable fetus. Alan was one of the first attor-
neys certified by the National Board of Trial
Advocacy and served in numerous leader-
ship roles for multiple legal organizations, in-
cluding the Association of Trial Lawyers of
America. In addition to serving as Adjunct
Professor for the Masters in Trial Advocacy
Degree Program at Temple University School
