About Our Attorneys

We are a law firm that is specializing in representing victims of orthopedic implants.  We currently represent several victims of DePuy / Johnson & Johnson’s hip replacement recall, as well as DePuy’s Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip implant.

Our unparalleled depth of knowledge about orthopedic implant litigation comes from years on the other side of the table–representing orthopedic companies.  For example, the firm’s partner, Brian Devine, worked for years at Sulzer Medica, a global manufacturer of hip and knee implants. As its Assistant General Counsel, Brian was responsible for all of Sulzer Medica’s product liability cases worldwide. When the company suddenly recalled several thousand hip and knee implants in December 2000, Brian was given lead responsibility for managing the resulting avalanche of litigation. He managed thousands of individual cases and directed attorneys in almost every state in the country. He then took a leading role in negotiating a nationwide class-action settlement that provided $1 billion in compensation to those who were injured by Sulzer Medica’s hip and knee implants.

Brian now uses his experience to help victims who are injured by orthopedic products. His legal and medical knowledge combined with the unique perspective he gained while working for a medical device company makes him a formidable adversary. Brian’s skill as an advocate is best proven by his results. In the last few years alone, he has recovered more than $20 million for a wide variety of clients. He has scored five victories in excess of $1 million, and his largest victory is a $3.7 million settlement on behalf of a single client.
