Sure, one of the most rewarding cases that we’ve worked on – and mostly because it truly exemplifies what we do here and the fact that it’s a total team effort – is the case involving Mr. Poage. Mr. Poage served our country bravely in the Navy and unfortunately was exposed to high levels of asbestos while doing so and developed mesothelioma. We ultimately took his case to trial in the City of St. Louis and received a very large jury verdict in upwards of $10 million. That case was appealed through every possible appellate court known to man through the defense attorneys. We succeeded at the Missouri Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of Missouri, and I’m very happy to report that nearly three years later the U.S. Supreme Court upheld our position and was able to provide closure for the Poage family. And simply, the commitment that we showed that family and, frankly, we show all of our clients is that we’re willing to fight the entire process, whether it’s a settlement that we can get quickly for them or we’re happy to fight to the U.S. Supreme Court for three years after a jury verdict.
