About Us
Founding story
What began as a deep dive into one class action settlement claim in 2003 has grown into the world’s most experienced Settlement Recovery practice. In the nearly 2 decades years since our founder Howard Yellen pioneered our unique hybrid of law and financial services, other companies have started offering settlement recovery. But no one can match Spectrum’s experience, expertise and single-minded focus to deliver the most favorable settlements for our clients.
