Some of the other wonderful things this law firm has done-

Getting 9/11 Claims Covered from Double Exposure to Single Indemnity

"In a high profile 14-week trial, we won a dispute about the terms of the insurance coverage under which more than 20 insurers wrote their property policies for the World Trade Center complex. We proved that our client, a domestic insurer, bound its policy on a form under which the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center was indeed considered as one occurrence, saving the company hundreds of millions in potential double exposure. We also successfully represented our client on appeal to the Second Circuit, in which the Court recently affirmed the jury verdict in favor of our client."

Saving Millions in Carbon Monoxide Claims

"The plaintiffs in a products liability claim involving multiple deaths sought millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages for those deaths which they attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning from a heater manufactured by our client. We successfully defended this product manufacturer; the jury found for the defense on all issues.

Expanding Relations in China

"Our business practice extended to the dynamic economy of the People's Republic of China, when our securities lawyers successfully represented investment bankers in a $115 million initial public offering of stock for the Shanghai Century Acquisition Corp. The company was formed to acquire businesses with primary operations in China."

  gggrrrr...

they have exapnded to China?  They should just move over there all together... they will fit the repressive environment there to a "T" - where the so very few rule over the oh so many abjects... er... subjects

One thing is for sure, articles like these keep homemade cat food at the top of the priority list to accomplish for me as a pet owner, and get the pitas away from commercial foods as soon I can. 

I don't want to have to think about these fools anymore.

That one looks worse than it is if you're not familiar with the background. A fellow named Larry Silverstein signed a 99 year lease on the WTC a few months prior to the collapse of the twin towers and building 7. He then loaded up on insurance, and wherever possible, set it up so he could double dip on multiple incidents. Since two planes hit two towers, he claimed he was entitled to be paid twice. He wasn't able to get away with it on all policies, but did on some of them. By the time everything was said and done, he made about $4 billion profit on his 2 month investment on the policies where he was able to double dip. His windfall profits would have been on the order of $12 billion if his scam has succeeded across the board. While there are a lot of things not to like about some attorneys, I don't think that one is a good example of working on the wrong side of the issue. Silverstein was the scumbag on that one.

On the rest of the points, no disagreement.
