Philadelphia Personal Injury Representation With a Personal Touch
At Spotlight Justice, we bring together the personal attention and responsiveness of a boutique firm and the elite case experience, national mass tort credentials, media recognition, and multi-million and billion-dollar litigation track record typically found only at the largest plaintiff firms.
We developed our practice based on a simple belief: clients with life-altering injuries deserve more than a case number and a quarterly update. They deserve an advocate who knows their story, understands their struggles, and fights for the full measure of justice they are owed.
A Law Firm Built for Catastrophic Injury Cases
Spotlight Justice exists for one purpose: to stand beside people whose lives have been forever changed by catastrophic harm. Our clients are not looking for a call center. They are not looking for a settlement mill. They are looking for a team that will treat their case, and their well-being, with the gravity it demands.
We focus our practice on significant injury cases because this is where our experience, training, and commitment make the greatest impact. Catastrophic injury litigation is not just our work. It is our calling. Helping clients secure fair compensation, long-term security, and meaningful accountability is profoundly fulfilling to us, both professionally and personally.
A Boutique Firm That Provides the Personal Attention You Need After an Injury
We are a boutique firm by design. That means true attorney access, not layers of staff between you and the person responsible for your case. When you hire us, you receive direct communication, individualized strategy, and personal attention at every stage of the process.
Our approach is human-first and counselor-driven. We recognize the emotional dimension of injury law: the grief, the trauma, the uncertainty, and the weight that families carry long after the moment of harm.
Our job is not only to handle your case but to help you heal, find closure, and feel genuinely heard.
Building meaningful relationships with our clients gives us deeper insight into both the truth and the impact of your injuries. That means learning about your family, your fears, your goals, and your day-to-day challenges in a meaningful way.
These relationships are integral to our case preparation and, ultimately, to our results. The better we understand your story, the more powerful and persuasive our case becomes.
Our team has extensive experience crafting narrative-driven cases involving wrongful death, cancer, trauma, medical injuries, toxic exposures, and complex scientific evidence. We understand that storytelling is one of the most effective tools in the courtroom, and we use it strategically to elevate the value and impact of our cases.
The Leadership of a Senior-Level Practitioner Who Personally Handles Every Case
Spotlight Justice is led by attorney Dena Young, a nationally recognized mass tort and catastrophic injury lawyer with 15 years of experience. Before founding Spotlight Justice, Dena served as Senior Counsel at Berger Montague, one of the nation’s most respected catastrophic injury and mass tort firms.
At large law firms, clients often meet a partner only at intake, while the real work is delegated to junior attorneys. At Spotlight Justice, Dena personally handles every case Spotlight Justice takes on from start to finish, drawing on her experience securing major high-profile results, such as:
- Serving on the Bellwether Committee for the Philips CPAP litigation and representing hundreds of injured clients in a case that reached a $1.1 billion settlement in 2024
- Originating the Allergan Breast Implant-Associated Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) litigation and not only being one of the first attorneys in the country to represent victims, but also representing the most women of any attorney nationwide in these cases
- Leading and supporting litigation in cases involving dangerous products, medical devices, toxic exposures, and life-changing injuries
Dena’s leadership ensures that every client benefits from senior-level strategy, deep industry knowledge, and unwavering advocacy.
A Focus on Quality, Not Quantity
Philadelphia is full of personal injury firms that run on volume. We choose a different path.
We intentionally limit our caseload so we can devote more time, more attention, and more strategic energy to each client. This commitment results in stronger cases and better outcomes.
At Spotlight Justice, we don’t chase volume. We chase results. Our high-touch model consistently outperforms firms many times our size because we believe in working smarter, preparing thoroughly, and advocating without compromise. By keeping our caseload small, we’re able to shine a spotlight where it belongs: on you.
