From Initial Filing to the Supreme Court — Product Liability Communications.
My product liability work spans numerous drugs and medical devices, from the filing of initial lawsuits through MDL coordination, jury verdicts, U.S. Supreme Court review, and final settlement. That work has included a contentious vehicle-emissions settlement that received widespread positive news coverage and 99 percent support from the class members who ultimately received billions of dollars in recovery, and litigation and class settlements with multiple auto manufacturers over a deadly parts defect, totaling billions of dollars in resolution.
- —A drug, medical device, or vehicle part alleged to be defectively designed or manufactured
- —A single-plaintiff case likely to grow into an MDL or class action
- —A defendant already reassuring investors and the press that the product is safe
- —A settlement or verdict that needs class-member buy-in to actually hold
Builds and executes communications strategy across every phase of a product liability matter — filing, MDL coordination, trial, appellate review, and settlement.
Coverage and class-member communication that holds up through a case's full lifecycle, including the settlement-approval period when public and class sentiment matters most.
Your settlement gets the kind of coverage and class buy-in that makes approval smoother, not harder.
Do you name the specific products or manufacturers involved?
I don't identify individual matters, defendants, or clients without express permission. I can speak in detail about the process and the scale of the results.
What experience informs this work?
3 years as a Dow Jones reporter covering exactly this category of consumer story, followed by 25 years in plaintiff-side communications, with placements on The Daily, CNBC, and the Joe Rogan Experience, and the media program behind a $190 million Johns Hopkins settlement.
Why does class-member sentiment during settlement approval matter?
A settlement can be legally sound and still face objections or opt-outs if class members don't understand or trust it. Getting ahead of that with clear, honest communication is part of what protects the settlement through final approval.
