About Kolsby Gordon
Kolsby, Gordon, Robin, Shore & Bezar has been a leading national law firm for more than five decades. In that time, we have won countless record- and precedent-setting verdicts and settlements on behalf of people who have been victimized by the negligence of others.
Our clients benefit from Kolsby Gordon's extraordinary in-house expertise. Two of our attorneys are board-certified medical doctors. (In contrast, other firms typically learn about medicine from continuing education, nurse consultants, and textbooks.) Similarly, two of our attorneys have advanced engineering degrees, which gives us a distinct advantage in explaining complex accidents-from falls to plane crashes-to juries. We have developed strong relationships with experts nationwide that specialize in medicine, engineering, life care planning, and vocational rehabilitation.
Judges, peers, and international organizations have recognized our leadership in numerous ways:
- Our partners have served as: chancellor of the Philadelphia Bar Association, president of the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association, and as board members of both organizations as well as the state Trial Lawyers Association.
- Only 500 fellows of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers exist in the United States. There are entire states without a single member. Kolsby Gordon is home to three members.
- Our attorneys have earned membership in the Inner Circle of Advocates, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and other select professional groups.
- The Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association's highest honor, the Justice Musmanno Award, has been given to U.S. senators, top judges, and, in a few rare instances, to practicing attorneys. That select group includes Kolsby Gordon founder Herbert F. Kolsby.
- Thousands have been hurt by pharmaceutical products like DES, Baycol, and Phen-Fen. Kolsby Gordon attorneys have been appointed lead counsel in key cases, and have achieved substantial results in major national lawsuits.
- Lawyers throughout the region are handling cases from negligent laser vision correction surgeries. A Kolsby Gordon partner was the first in the region to achieve a substantial settlement in such a case; and he wrote a key article on the topic.
