Case history
Publicly tracked matters where this attorney is listed as counsel.
Philip Morris Tobacco Product Liability Class Action
This appears to be a proposed class action against Philip Morris International, Inc. The lawsuit is docketed as a personal injury product liability case, and it apparently alleges that consumers were injured by the company's tobacco products. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts, and there is no indication of a settlement.

Las Flores Pipeline System Settlement
Property owners alleged that Plains All American Pipeline failed to use, operate, and maintain the Las Flores Pipeline System (formerly Lines 901 and 903) for many years, causing the easement contracts and right-of-way grants to terminate. The pipeline company has agreed to settle these claims and also agreed not to install a second pipeline and to make reasonable efforts to obtain governmental approval for automatic shutoff valves.
