Press Release Summary = Theodore A. Bechtold Esq. is investigating previously settled Milberg Weiss cases affected by plaintiff payoffs to recover improperly awarded legal fees for Class members. To date over 60 tainted cases have been identified in Court documents.
Press Release Body = The Statement of Facts in the plea agreement of David Bershad provides a detailed description of illegal payoffs to and perjury by plaintiffs at the direction of Milberg Weiss. The indictment of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman and its partners calculates David Bershad's take from the cases identified by the government as over $26 Million. His plea agreement will leave him with at least $18 million of his partnership cut derived from these illegal activities to begin compensating Class members in affected cases. Other Milberg Weiss partnership interests and payouts were also derived from these activities and should rightfully be returned to Class members in cases affected by the misconduct of the firm and its partners.
There are other sources of additional compensation for Class members including recovery of legal fees generated by work performed on contaminated Milberg Weiss' cases by outside lawyers and paid for from settlements approved by corrupt plaintiffs. Class members can also pursue claims of fraud on the Court and reopen cases based on the admitted pattern of illegal conduct. The attorneys and plaintiffs involved in the fraud withheld key information from every Judge approving every Milberg Weiss settlement entered into on behalf of their stable of corrupt plaintiffs. Each case lacked lead plaintiffs approved by the Court exercising oversight of counsel and representing the interests of absent Class members. These improper and illegal activities have been perpetrated on Courts and Class members throughout the nation for many years. Class members in affected cases have a legal right to pursue monetary damages from all parties unjustly enriched by the illegal activities of Milberg Weiss. Investigating Counsel believes that any and all available legal means should be employed to properly compensate Class members in cases where these illegal activities were employed to deceive the Court. Research continues to identify additional cases tainted by the activities of Milberg Weiss and its partners.
If you were a class member in any of the 63 cases identified in Court documents that are listed below or believe your case was affected by these illegal activities you are encouraged to contact Theodore A. Bechtold, Esq. at 570 686-3438 or by E Mail (see contact info below)
