Steven began his legal education at Boston College Law School before returning home to New Jersey, where he earned his Juris Doctor from Rutgers School of Law in 1983. During law school, he served as a volunteer probation officer in Camden County. In 1985, he founded his own personal injury law practice, focusing on accident litigation and personal injury claims, while also coaching high school football.

In 1992, Steven met Scott Goldberg while both were running for Camden County Freeholder and quickly recognized his talent, energy, and dedication. Together, they founded Petrillo & Goldberg Law, building a firm focused on personal injury, workers’ compensation, and accident representation. The firm has since expanded to include a highly skilled legal team: partner Scott Schulman, a workers’ compensation specialist; Jeff Thiel, a litigation strategist; Steven Michael Petrillo, who brings a scientific approach to complex cases with dual degrees in biochemistry and psychology; Robert Goldberg, an associate concentrating on motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, and complex civil litigation; and Brittany Petrillo Fisher, a bilingual personal injury attorney licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Under Steven’s leadership, the firm has developed a highly effective team-based approach to personal injury litigation, ensuring every client benefits from a collaborative strategy and comprehensive legal representation.

Steven has also dedicated his life to public service. He served for 17 years on Pennsauken Township’s governing body—as Committeeman, Public Safety Director, Deputy Mayor, and Mayor—and later served in the New Jersey State Assembly. In addition, he served for 17 years as a Municipal Court Judge and as an Associate Pastor, during which he provided leadership in small-group development and community outreach.
