Our firm represents only plaintiffs, not defendants. We never represent insurance companies. We work exclusively on a contingent basis, meaning we are only paid if we successfully recover for our clients.. Our practice is currently focussed on assisting those suffering injuries caused by defective hernia mesh products; farmers, groundskeepers, landscapers, gardeners, pesticide applicators and others who allege they developed Non-Hodgkin lymphoma after frequent use of the weedkiller Roundup; and victims of sexual abuse. We also represent plaintiffs in matters involving motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip-and-fall, aviation and maritime accidents, wrongful death, and other personal injury cases. We operate throughout the country, as we have long-established co-counsel relationships with leading firms located in nearly every state..

In addition to his work at the Supreme Court, Tom represented hundreds of individuals, businesses and governmental entities against BP, and he has been successful in recovering tens of millions of dollars for these clients, both through the Court Supervised Settlement Program and in MDL-2179.. In late 2015 Tom was appointed by a federal magistrate judge to represent over 200,000 plaintiffs in an allocation proceeding involving a $1.24 billion settlement with Deepwater Horizon contractor Halliburton and rig owner Transocean. There he secured over $300 million for class clients.. More recently Tom was retained by Hillsborough County, Florida to pursue losses associated with Volkswagen's fraudulent emissions cover-up scheme. He also represents Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the City of Miami, the City of Tucson and several other large cities and counties across the country seeking to recover damages from opioid manufacturers and distributors.. Tom and his team have a comprehensive understanding of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, federal and state unfair trade practices laws, and other environmental legislation and regulatory schemes.
