SETTING THE STANDARD
Tom Kline in 2010 was chosen again as Pennsylvania’s Top Point Getter in Super Lawyers, a recognition he has received for seven straight years. Kline preserved key trial testimony used in Vioxx trials throughout the country. The litigation ended in a $4.85 billion settlement that benefited hundreds of Kline & Specter clients and thousands of others. Kline was the 2008-09 president of the Inner Circle of Advocates, an organization The Washington Post described as “a select group of the nation’s most celebrated trial lawyers.”
Shanin Specter for the fifth time was named to the Top 10 in Pennsylvania Super Lawyers. Specter won an eight-figure medical malpractice jury verdict as well as final appeals of three other eight-figure verdicts. In 2007, Specter received the Pennsylvania Association for Justice’s highest honor, the Milton D. Rosenberg Award, for his service and leadership in the legal profession. In 2008, he was selected as the recipient of the Michael A. Musmanno Award, the highest award of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association.
Andrew J. Stern, Lee B. Balefsky, Michelle L. Tiger and Andrew S. Youman won Super Lawyers honors for another year. For Stern, winner of Pennsylvania’s only $100 million medical malpractice verdict, the selection was his sixth in a row. For Balefsky, head of the firm’s mass tort department, it was his seventh straight time named to Pennsylvania Super Lawyers.
The firm added Geary Yeisley to its lawyer/physician group, which also includes Mark A. Hoffman, Lisa Dagostino, Carol R. Dembe and Gary M. Zakeosian. In one case, Hoffman and Yeisley, both surgeons, teamed to win a major jury verdict in Lackawanna County.
Kline & Specter attorneys have been named in Pennsylvania Rising Stars. They are Kila B. Baldwin, Charles L. Becker, who heads the firm’s appellate practice, David J. Caputo, Dominic Guerrini, David K. Inscho and Carl E. Jones Jr.
