“Mr. President, today, the Senate will vote to confirm Pennsylvania State Court Judge Gail Weilheimer to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Judge Weilheimer's impressive career as a litigator, combined with her experience as a State court judge, will make her an excellent addition to the Federal bench. After earning both her B.A. and J.D. from Hofstra University, Judge Weilheimer began her legal career in public service as an assistant district attorney at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, where she prosecuted a variety of crimes, from misdemeanors and juvenile cases to violent crimes. Judge Weilheimer then transitioned to private practice, first at Abrahams, Loewenstein and Bushman; then Frank & Rosen, LLP; and finally at Wisler Pearlstine, LLP. In private practice, she represented various clients, from hospitals and doctors to public school districts and individuals. In her nearly two decades as a litigator, Judge Weilheimer tried more than 400 cases to verdict prior to taking the bench. Since 2014, Judge Weilheimer has served as a judge on the Montgomery Court of Common Pleas, where she has presided over more than 500 trials that have gone to verdict and she has issued more than 200 written opinions. Judge Weilheimer has the strong support of her home State Senators, Mr. Casey and Mr. Fetterman. In addition, she was rated unanimously ``well qualified'' by the American Bar Association.…”
