Today we are joined by Mike Stagg of Stag Liuzza in New Orleans. Mike is in the middle of trial preparation for what would be considered a long hard road by any stretch of the litigation imagination of a single case that took 10 years to get to trial. Mike begins a transvaginal mesh trial in Huntington WV federal court in mid-February 2022 that he has been working on for 10 years. The defendant is the Ethicon division of Johnson & Johnson and is a legacy trial of the previously settled multidistrict litigation against various TVM manufacturers. Those dockets settled for billions of dollars several years ago and kudos to Mike and his firm for maintaining such high standards in representing their client and ensuring she has a day in court. 

We will also touch on the AFFF firefighter foam multidistrict litigation where Mike is a member of the plaintiff steering committee and his additional work in environmental contamination and related litigation across the country.
