Courtroom Success 2015-45: New Jersey Partner Christopher Martin & Associate Ryan Franco

New Jersey Partner Christopher Martin and Associate Ryan Franco obtained a dismissal of our client from a toxic tort case involving close to 100 defendants including several Fortune 500 companies.

The result of these efforts was the court granting our client’s motion and entering the dismissal of our client with prejudice
