Andrew Sacks and John Weston have practiced law together since 1984. For the first ten years their efforts were directed to general civil litigation and labor law.

Beginning in 1994, an increasingly large proportion of their practice became devoted to environmental litigation, principally representing landowners and others who had been exposed to radioactive oil field contamination.

Within a few years their national work had evolved into an international practice, representing private individuals and corporations as well as national governments in matters as diverse as antitrust and products liability, commercial litigation and RICO violations.

Sacks & Weston today focuses its practice on complex civil litigation while maintaining its roots in a general legal practice. Our newly expanded general practice includes estate planning and administration, family law, personal injury and motor vehicle cases, immigration, real estate and corporate law.

The firm is active in national class actions seeking damages for antitrust violations, and international class and mass actions in which the firm represents individuals injured by mislabeled or defective pharmaceuticals and defective medical devices.

We have retained our ties with our environmental law roots, and are co-counsel for the plaintiff awarded the largest single land-owner verdict in U.S. history against the country's biggest oil company. Currently, we are investigating allegations that the natural gas drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") can contaminate drinking water supplies. Such contamination can occur by allowing the toxic frack-water to leak directly into water supplies through poorly made well walls or leaky impoundment pits, or by processing the toxic mixture through waste water treatment plants incapable of properly treating the frack waste - which then release the 'untreated' water into the drinking supply.

In addition to our trial activities, the firm has an extensive appellate practice in state and federal courts across the country, including the United States Supreme Court.

The firm maintains close relations with law firms in other states and countries. Thus, in less than a decade, the firm has advanced from its beginning as a local personal injury practice, to an international firm representing clients over virtually the entire spectrum of legal problems.
