Richard M. Heimann Selected a California Lawyer of the Year
February 15, 2011
California Lawyer magazine released its selections for the 2011 California Lawyer Attorney of the Year (CLAY) award given for legal work that had a profound impact. Richard M. Heimann received a CLAY award in the field of consumer law for leading "the trial team at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein in winning an eye-catching $203 million class action restitution -- the largest consumer class award in 2010 -- against Wells Fargo Bank, capping two-and-one-half years of litigation over the bank’s manipulation of overdraft fee processing."
The recipients of the CLAY Awards will be featured in the March 2011 issue of California Lawyer. The honored attorneys include government lawyers, law professors, attorneys from international law firms, public interest lawyers, and members of the Assembly Judiciary Committee.
This marks the 4th Lieff Cabraser case selected by the California Lawyer for its CLAY award since 2007.
