Phil Elberg and KIDS
Phil Elberg is the veteran Newark, New Jersey, lawyer who took on Miller Newton and his controversial KIDS “tough love” teen rehab program. He has been a lawyer for 35 years with a specialty in medical malpractice. Elberg went to court against Miller Newton starting in the late 1990s, representing several former KIDS clients who had experienced horrific abuses. His suits have won $15 million (U.S.) in judgments and settlements. The U.S. Congress’s Government Accountability Office has cited his work in an investigation of American tough love programs.
