Pessin Katz Law, P.A. (PK Law) is pleased to announce that Member Brian Cathell was selected to appear in the 2018 Benchmark 40 and Under Hotlist.

All attorneys selected to the list are drawn from case examinations and extensive client and peer reviews conducted by Benchmark’s editorial team. The selected attorneys represent the most promising emerging talent in their field.

Mr. Cathell is a Member in the Firm’s Medical Malpractice Defense Group. Brian has considerable experience defending medical malpractice cases, as well as defending physicians and other health care providers in various administrative forums. Prior to moving to civil litigation, Brian was an Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore County where he tried hundreds of cases to verdict, including three First-Degree Murder jury trials. During his time there, Brian was given the responsibility of training new prosecutors and was frequently consulted by his colleagues regarding trial strategy and technique. He was also specially assigned to handle matters of a high-profile nature, some of which drew national media attention.

At Pessin Katz Law, Brian has remained successful in the courtroom. In August 2017, he obtained a unanimous jury verdict in favor of his physician client in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County. Recently, Brian has briefed and successfully argued numerous motions in the Circuit Courts regarding proximate causation and related areas of first impression. Additionally, Brian has worked as “first chair” in negotiating fair settlements on behalf of his clients at mediation.

Brian and his colleague, Kimberly Longford, are the first attorneys from Pessin Katz Law to be selected for the Benchmark 40 and Under Hotlist

We are proud of Brian and his dedication to PK Law.
