The Legal Challenge
Securing Justice for Thousands of Consumers in Defective Product Case
We represented homeowners impacted by defective plumbing products in a complex federal class action lawsuit. After detailed litigation and negotiations, the court approved a settlement establishing a $7.65 million common fund and awarded $2.3 million in attorneys’ fees.
When a lone objector appealed the settlement to the Fifth Circuit, we successfully defended the agreement — and the appellate court affirmed the full resolution. The outcome delivered meaningful relief to affected class members and protected the integrity of the settlement.
