In Memoriam of Eliot Bader

by Philip Stillman

Bader Stillman was born in Margate, Florida in 1994


Eliot and I met at a law firm in Hollywood, FL in 1988. He was a young lawyer associate and I was the new hire student law clerk... we were instant friends. Eliot left to start his own firm; after graduation I worked for an insurance company.

Eliot wanted us to work together and by January of 1994, Bader-Stillman was born.

We have helped thousands of clients recoup the settlement dollars they deserved; Eliot and I shared so many life experiences always there for each other. While Eliot and I ended our partnership in 2022, we never ended our friendship, respect and love for each other. We were brothers. Eliot died March 8, 2024 at the age of 62... A brilliant lawyer, a great guy, a friend, a brother, Rest in Peace Eliot.
