Feldman Shepherd is pleased to announce that trial attorney Reginald L. Streater was recognized as one of the “150 Most Influential People in Philly” by Philadelphia Magazine.
At Feldman Shepherd, Streater represents individuals and families in all manner of catastrophic personal injury, medical malpractice and civil rights cases. He also serves as president of the Philadelphia Board of Education, where he oversees approximately 200,000 students, 20,000 employees, a significant portfolio of school district properties, and a budget of $4.5 billion. He is a graduate of the School District of Philadelphia and has two school-aged children who attend school in the district.
In ranking Streater #124 on the list, Philadelphia Magazine gave nod to the “strategic thinking” demonstrated by Streater, the board and Superintendent Tony Watlington (ranked #8), “most recently demonstrated by new curricula, a new school-selection protocol, professional development — and soon, a deep dive into facilities planning.”
“I am honored to be mentioned alongside such distinguished individuals and proud to carry on the Feldman Shepherd tradition of zealous advocacy for our clients and service to the greater community. I am driven by my passion for representing both my clients and the more than 200,000 students in Philadelphia’s public schools, as well as all stakeholders of interest in the School District of Philadelphia — an institution that has shaped me, educates my children, and that I am privileged to serve,” Streater said.
Co-Managing Partner, Mark W. Tanner, added: “We are proud of Reggie’s deep ties and his commitment to the Philadelphia community, and our firm and clients consistently benefit from his boundless energy and creative thinking.”
