About Max David Steuer
Max's middle name was anglicized into David. It's believed that he came to the USA with two older sisters.
Max D. had an exceptional memory and played golf. He was 26 years old when he married. He began private practice of law in 1893. He never referred to notes, but used the exact quotations he needed in citing testimony. His knowledge of the law was vast and success attended his efforts as counsel in many cases of nationwide interest. Max D. was the Chief Defense Lawyer and won the acquittal for the owners of the Triangle Shirt-Waist Factory fire in 1911. He represented Frances Hodgson Burnett and William Randolph Hearst in libel cases. He was a trustee of Beth Israel Hospital and later of the Federation for Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies. Life Magazine wrote an article on his unusual art collection in its 29 Oct 1941 issue, and later wrote a correction to the article.
