This involves thorough investigation, relationships with expert witnesses, and meticulous preparation for every case.

We have developed a rigorous, skillful and technical method for locating hard-to-find manufacturer documents in order to successfully litigate against major pharmaceutical companies, positioning our firm as a leader in the fight to increase public health and safety.

Our attorneys come from diverse backgrounds, offering a unique combination of experiences and skills that have led to a record of successful resolutions in and outside of the courtroom. Among our lawyers are two pilots, a former airline captain, a bio-engineer, a mechanical engineer, a former aircraft mechanic, former law professors, former public servants, a former district attorney, a former deputy sheriff, a former S.W.A.T commander, former magistrates, mediators and arbitrators and two former assistant attorneys general.

The senior attorneys of our law firm prepare and direct all cases themselves and the firm's attorney’s work as a team on each case. We are regularly consulted by other attorneys and as experts on the cases, we handle by established news sources when there is an issue of great magnitude, interest or importance.

The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles, with additional offices in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
