Lieff Cabraser's Trials Across America -
Edsaco Litigation
Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP is dedicated to advancing the rights of our clients, bringing their claims to trial when necessary to achieve justice. We represent our clients in federal and state courts throughout the country.
Since 2003, the National Law Journal has selected Lieff Cabraser as one of the top plaintiffs' law firms in the United States, recognizing our verdicts and settlements in addition to overall track records.
Lieff Cabraser has taken mutiple cases to trial over the past several years, including the following:
  • Claghorn v. Edsaco. The vast majority of plaintiffs' securities lawyers have never taken a single case to trial and prevailed. Richard M. Heimann, who oversees Lieff Cabraser's securities and investor fraud practice, has tried over 30 civil jury cases in his career, including two successful securities class action trials. In the most recent, Claghorn v. Edsaco case, a federal jury in California in April 2002 returned a $170.7 million verdict against the defendant. Following the Edsaco trial, the parties reached a settlement of the action on favorable monetary terms to the class, which included Edsaco's relinquishment of its right to appeal and the plaintiffs' agreement to vacate the jury verdict. Commenting on Lieff Cabraser's trial work, U.S. District Court Judge Susan Illston observed:

    "[C]ounsel for the plaintiffs did a very good job in a very tough situation of achieving an excellent recovery for the class here. You were opposed by extremely capable lawyers. It was an uphill battle. There were some complicated questions, and then there was the tricky issue of actually collecting anything in the end... [T]he recovery that was achieved for the class in this second trial is remarkable, almost a hundred percent."
