Attorney Tom Kline won an $8 billion verdict in a pharmaceutical case. Attorney Brian Panish won $4.9 billion dollars in a products liability case. Both men were teachers before they became lawyers. Both men knew how to make things simple, tell stories, and synthesize difficult subjects for short attention spans. Both men were accustomed to being the guides, not the heroes. I study the best attorneys in the nation. These are two of the best. It's not a coincidence that they started their careers with "juries" in the classroom before they faced juries in the courtroom.
