DISCLAIMER: These verdicts and settlements were recorded
over a period of ten years. In publishing these results, JMP
attorneys do not represent that every case they have handled
over the course of the past ten years has concluded on such
favorable terms, nor should these results be taken as a guarantee
for future success. JMP attorneys have been very successful
in collecting funds on favorable verdicts. The reported results
all involved complex legal issues, and liability and damages
were contested by the defendants. The defendants in all reported
cases were represented by legal counsel. Of course, the outcome
of a particular case cannot be predicated upon our past results. |
