Many personal injury lawyers focus their advocacy on representing the injured in court, but Nadeem Bezar, a finalist for The Legal’s 2022 Attorney of the Year, has moved his advocacy from the courtroom, to the state capital, and now out into the streets of Pennsylvania.

Bezar, a Kline & Specter attorney who focuses on representing child survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking, has recently begun a project with students he teaches at Temple’s Beasley School of Law to track down former abuse victims who have gone missing. It started earlier this year with an independent study project aimed at locating a former client who had been abused.
