In February 2006, the firm won a $554 million jury verdict on
behalf of thousands of property owners whose homes were exposed to
plutonium or other toxins. Judgment in the case was entered
by the court in June 2008 which, with interest, totaled $926
million (with proceedings now continuing on appeal).
Recognizing this tremendous achievement, the Public Justice
Foundation bestowed its prestigious Trial Lawyer of the Year Award
for 2009 on Mr. Davidoff, Mr. Sorensen and
the entire trial team for their "long and hard-fought" victory
against "formidable corporate and government defendants." The
jury verdict was subsequently vacated on appeal.
