  • Kline & Specter PC

    In 1995, Tom Kline and Shanin Specter started their own practice, opening an office on the top floor of a building in Philadelphia with one associate attorney and four staffers. Today, Kline & Specter, PC occupies 12 floors of the same building at 1525 Locust St. with more than 40 attorneys, five of whom are also medical doctors, the most of any firm in the United States. Victories have followed, including hundreds of multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements, some of them record-setting, and even one in the billions — the $8 billion verdict against Johnson & Johnson in 2019 involving the anti-psychotic drug Risperdal.
