Plaintiffs firm Seeger Weiss, known recently for its $47.5 million jury verdict in a New Jersey Vioxx case, has opened a Philadelphia office with three class action attorneys from Philadelphia plaintiffs firm Sheller P.C.

Jonathan Shub will be resident partner of the Philadelphia office along with two associates, TerriAnne Benedetto and Scott Alan George. Shub was previously of counsel at Sheller, where he had worked for nine years. The three started with Seeger Weiss Tuesday.
