Early life

Kuvin was born on December 3, 1969 and raised in southern Florida. He attended Florida State University from 1987 through 1991 and was a member of the Florida State Marching Chiefs. His father and brothers are all lawyers.[1] Spencer Kuvin’s father, Lawrence “Larry” Kuvin, was an attorney in Miami-Dade and Broward for more than 50 years, and died at age 80. He had specialized in municipal liability defense, medical malpractice and personal injury cases. [2]

After college, Kuvin attended St. Thomas University Law School, where he graduated from in 1996. His career began as an insurance defense attorney representing such corporations as SmithKline Beecham Clinical Laboratories, Quest Diagnositics and Winn-Dixie. After practicing as a defense attorney in Miami for over five years, Kuvin decided to switch to representing victims of negligence.

Kuvin’s first job was working with famed West Palm Beach attorney Robert Montgomery. From there he went on to become law partners with Ed Ricci and Ted Leopold.[3] Eventually, Kuvin began his own firm and then began running the litigation department at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb in 2013.

Career

Kuvin was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1996 after graduating from St. Thomas University law school. Kuvin began his career defending large multi-national corporations and insurance companies. In the 2010s, Kuvin represented three underage girls who claimed that they were victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein.[4][5] Kuvin predicted that Epstein would be murdered prior to his death in jail.[6][7]

Kuvin has also represented Chloe Goins, a victim of Bill Cosby. Ms.Goins was one of the only victims who was able to bring a direct action against Cosby and Hugh Hefner, because her claim still fell within the statute of limitations. [8] He was also one of the only lawyers permitted to proceed with a deposition of Bill Cosby after his conviction.[9]
