Carl S. Kravitz litigates complex civil cases for both plaintiffs and defendants at both the trial and appellate levels. Mr. Kravitz has obtained many multimillion dollar recoveries for plaintiffs and groups of plaintiffs, including recoveries exceeding $10 million and one of nearly $400 million. His most recent victories for plaintiffs have been in shareholder litigation involving national banks and in the representation of individuals wrongly convicted of serious crimes based on evidence fabricated by a state crime lab. Mr. Kravitz has also led the defense of several significant matters; he recently obtained a dismissal for his client in the Homestore Securities litigation pending in the Central District of California.
Mr. Kravitz is chairman of Zuckerman Spaeder's litigation department and has been practicing law in Washington, DC since January 1982. He has concentrated his practice in the areas of bad faith insurance litigation, fraud litigation, civil rights, products liability, securities fraud, corporate governance, fraudulent conveyances, mass torts, toxic torts, professional negligence, wrongful death, partnership disputes, ethical requirements for lawyers, and general commercial issues. He has tried cases and argued appeals in state and federal courts around the country.
He has been a frequent faculty member at the National Institute of Trial Practice and other trial practice programs. In April of 2007, Legal Times named Mr. Kravitz a "Leading Lawyer" in business litigation.
