SACKS & WESTON - COUNSELLORS AT LAW & PROCTORS IN ADMIRALITY * Gulf Oil Disaster Information *


English      한글

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 almost entirely on complex civil litigation.

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.

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.
