Attorney Kahn’s advocacy skills were recognized and acknowledged early on in her legal career.  As a law student, the American Bar Association bestowed upon her the honor of Best Oral Advocate for National Appellate Advocacy.  Attorney Kahn was later honored in 2001 as one of the top twelve attorneys in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts obtaining, over a two year period, jury verdicts and settlements in personal injury cases in excess of $2 Million Dollars.

Attorney Kahn’s multi-million dollar successes are notable throughout the Commonwealth including a record setting $24 Million Dollar jury verdict obtained in a pediatric malpractice case.  Other notable verdicts have included a $10 Million Dollar jury verdict for failure to diagnose breast cancer, a $2.5 Million Dollar jury verdict for a birth injury, a $1.75 Million Dollar verdict for failure to diagnose post-operative bleeding resulting in patient death, a $2.1 Million Dollar settlement for maternal death, a $1Million Dollar settlement for a negligently performed laparoscopic hysterectomy, and a record setting $850,000 jury verdict in a dental malpractice claim.

Ms. Kahn was instrumental in achieving a $3.85 Million Dollar Settlement under recently enacted medical malpractice legislation referred to as the “Disclosure, Apology and Offer” statute.  This settlement was the first of its kind under the new statute in an amount exceeding $3 Million Dollars.
