May 18, 2021 Congrats to Jason Dennis, Greg Brassfield, and the entire trial team from Lynn, Pinker, Hurst & Schwegmann, LLP on their $3M jury verdict in Dallas in a dispute involving fiduciary duty and contract issues among family members. The emotional dynamics embedded in these cases, where family member are litigating, always presents an extra challenge for jurors to sort through in order to focus on what is fair. But there is always a key decision-driver, and it is no surprise that the professionals at LPHS were strategic in their approach, making it easy for this jury to get it right. And kudos to my colleague Emily McDonald for helping pick yet another winning jury and providing insight. It was a privilege and a pleasure to play a role in this success story. Lastly, thanks to the jury for its time and service as well as Judge Purdy and her staff.

Henry Law Firm on their $22.5M jury verdict in Federal Court in Tallahassee, FL against 3M. This was a bellwether case in the combat earplug MDL that resulted in the largest verdict of the 8 bellwether cases tried thus far. The Plaintiff was Thomas Finley, who is one of thousands of veterans who claim the 3M combat earplugs sold to the military were defective and caused hearing loss. It was a privilege and pleasure to play a role in their success story. And, as always, kudos to the trial jury for their time and service as well as the Judge and Court staff for keeping the jury system running.

October 27, 2021 Congrats to Andy Ryan of Ryan Law Partners, LLC, Josh Carlin of Hanson Curran, LLP and the entire Southwest Airlines trial team for their defense jury verdict in Rhode Island. This case was brought by 2 TSA employees over carbon monoxide exposure at the Providence airport. While the jury found the airport owner/operator negligent and awarded $26M, they got it completely right by deciding that Southwest was not negligent at all. Andy Ryan is a courtroom master who stuck to the trial themes and focused the jury on our key messages. On behalf of the Bloom team, it was a pleasure and privilege to play a role in this success story.

And kudos to the jury for their time and service, as well as the Judge and Court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving.
