25 Years Erasing the Structural Monopolies of Corporate Defense Communication.
The case moved from a standard settlement track to a landmark resolution that forced institutional accountability. That's not the beginning of a career. That's the middle of one.
I'm the principal of Oliver & Ginger, and I've worked in plaintiff litigation communications for twenty-five years. Before that, I was a reporter at Dow Jones — I know what it takes to get a story placed, because I spent years deciding whether to place one. That's not a credential you can hire. It's a perspective you either have or you don't.
I built a plaintiff-side communications operation specifically to counter what the defense bar deploys against you — the AmLaw 100 litigation teams and national crisis-PR shops that run sophisticated operations built to isolate your clients and control the story before you ever see a complaint filed.
I take those machines apart.
Billion-dollar companies don't just fight lawsuits — they retain sophisticated communications operations built to shape public perception before your complaint is ever filed. This is the apparatus routinely deployed against plaintiff attorneys in mass tort, MDL, class action, and catastrophic injury cases: AmLaw 100 firms building the legal defense narrative, national crisis-PR shops managing the public record, handling the financial press, and moving the political and regulatory landscape.
I built a plaintiff-side operation specifically to counter what that apparatus does.
The pattern holds across every matter I've worked: an institution knew, said nothing, and people were harmed until the narrative forced accountability. Hopkins is one. It isn't the only one.
See the full record →I was once the junior person on a case — no idea what I was actually doing, sent in because someone senior had somewhere else to be. I remember exactly what that felt like from the other side. That's why no one under ten years touches your account here. You wouldn't accept a first-year associate running your case. I don't accept one running your narrative.
No pitch-and-ditch: I answer the phone because I run the agency — the person who sells you is the person doing the work. And I scale up and scale down with the matter, so you're never paying for bench you don't need.
The reporters and producers I call have been on my list for twenty years — not pulled from a database the week your complaint is filed. Across mass tort, class action, and catastrophic injury litigation, I've represented 9,000 victims, and every one of them got a dedicated communications strategy, built with matter-specific experts. Nothing here is templated.
Prefer to sign an NDA before sharing case details? Email to request one first — nothing about your matter has to go over text.
You bring the law to the fight. They bring a war machine. Lawyers believe the case is won in the courtroom. Corporate defense firms know the case is won in the public square before the complaint is even filed. Every day you litigate without an active communications strategy, you are exposed in a fight you don’t know is happening.
I lead, execute, and personally start every single engagement from day one. You always have my direct line. However, when the volume of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) or massive coordinated proceeding demands scale, we scale quickly.
I maintain a vetted bench of communications and media operators matched precisely to the matter, whether it demands specific expertise in aviation, toxic torts, environmental contamination, or mass product liability. Every operator brought onto your matter is a veteran in high-stakes communications; no one with less than ten years of experience will touch your account.
