This week, Maryland’s Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee held an historic vote – to finally approve the passage of the Child Victim’s Act of 2023. This bill would allow child victims of sexual abuse, clergy abuse and otherwise, to bring a cause of action against their perpetrators and their institutional accomplices. Most survivors can’t sue past … Read More
Monday, January 30, was a historic day for anyone who has ever been injured by a defective product, and certainly a great sign for our 3M clients. Johnson & Johnson, a pharmaceutical mega-monster, which supposedly is dedicated to helping patients, is the manufacturer of after-shower baby powder. The baby powder, however, is carcinogenic and has … Read More
It appears to be a new day in Annapolis, as support appears to be building in Annapolis and now online – through a newly-launched online grassroots petition endorsing passage of Maryland’s “long overdue” proposed HB 1, the Child Victims Act of 2023. We support all forms of citizen engagement, the latest of which is the … Read More
Yesterday in Annapolis, the Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee heard presentations by advocates for the reform of Maryland’s statute of limitations for survivors of child sexual assault.

One of those decisions – Judge Rodger’s Sanctions Order against 3M – … Read More
We were greatly disappointed to learn that the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has denied the plaintiffs’ appeal in the Zofran litigation. This ruling upheld the MDL judge’s decision dismissing the cases under the doctrine of “clear evidence preemption.” As a result, after eight years of fighting on behalf of injured … Read More
Today The Baltimore Sun has chosen the survivors of sexual abuse and their supporters seeking to hold the Catholic Church accountable as the 2022 Marylanders of the Year. Photographs of two of our pro bono clients, Michelle Stanton and Donna Vondenbosch, are prominently featured. We could not be prouder of them, and all of the … Read More
Judge Rogers barred 3M Co from trying to avoid liability for injuries U.S. military members sustained from its defective earplugs by shifting blame to a subsidiary. Judge Rogers ruled that 3M deserved the “harshest penalty” for its “bad faith” attempts to transfer the liability to Aearo Technologies, a bankrupt subsidiary of 3M. Aearo had developed … Read More
Last week our legal team asked a Baltimore Circuit Court judge to release a sealed Grand Jury Report on pervasive, serial sexual abuse within the Baltimore Archdiocese.
