Engle Trading Card Tuesday: Flashback Part 4

Written by Arlin Crisco | Oct 28, 2014 6:10:00 PM

Because our Engle Trading Card Series has been so popular and we’ve been asked where to find our earlier, Series 1 cards, we’ll periodically revisit the subjects of our first set of cards and provide quick updates on their Engle litigation history.

Card #7: Alex Alvarez

Since we featured him in a Series 1 card, Alex Alvarez has more than doubled his CVN Engle trial experience, going an impressive 6-2 over the last three years, including his biggest damage award: a $45 million verdict in Alexander v. Lorillard Tobacco Co. Alvarez's career winning percentage now stands at 75% through 12 CVN Engle verdicts.

Card #6: James Gustafson

James Gustafson stretched his undefeated record in CVN Engle cases from November 2010 to February 2014, when he lost in Betty Ellis v. R.J. Reynolds, et al. His 4 additional CVN Engle trials since his card was originally released brings his record to a stellar 5-1, with jury awards totaling more than $105 million. His first win, an $80 million verdict in Webb v. R.J. Reynolds, was remanded for a new trial on damages, scheduled for this November.

Come back next Tuesday to learn who’ll be featured on our next Engle trading card.
