For the second consecutive year, industry observer Lawdragon has named eight Berman Tabacco partners to its 2020 list of the 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers: Norman Berman, Joseph J. Tabacco, Jr., Kathleen M. Donovan-Maher, Nicole Lavallee, Leslie R. Stern, Christopher T. Heffelfinger, Todd A. Seaver, and Kristin Moody.
The list includes lawyers who “specialize in representing plaintiffs in securities and other business litigation, antitrust, and whistleblower claims” and “the heart and soul of this list takes on the plight of plaintiffs who often can’t afford to go to court for the wrong they’ve been done” and in many cases “these firms will shoulder the risk and take the cases on contingency.” The 500 Leading Plaintiff Financial Lawyers are chosen based on Lawdragon’s editorial research of “top verdicts and settlements” combined with extensive peer discussions nationwide regarding “whom they admire and would hire to seek justice for a claim.”
