Many of Georgia’s best attorneys faced off in trials around the state last year, with CVN covering the events gavel-to-gavel. And our Georgia Plaintiff’s Attorney of 2019 earned the title with two major verdicts in front of our cameras. 

CVN cameras covered an impressive slate of Georgia's finest lawyers last year. And CVN Georgia's 2019 defense attorney honoree earned the accolade by clearing his physician clients in a pair of high-profile med mal trials. 

CVN’s unequaled Engle progeny tobacco trial coverage spotlighted a host of headline grabbing moments in 2019. The ongoing litigation includes thousands of cases spun from a decertified class action against the country’s tobacco companies. And, for more than a decade now, Engle progeny trials have seen the country’s best attorneys in courtrooms across Florida.

CVN’s Engle Plaintiff’s Attorneys of 2019 are a pair that served as the common link through a blockbuster trio of trial wins.

Boston, MA— Jurors Friday cleared the nation’s two largest tobacco companies of fault in the cancer death of a Massachusetts man. Main v. Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds, 1684CV03883. 

For more than a decade, Florida’s Engle progeny tobacco litigation has featured some of the top lawyers in the country. 

The cases are among thousands that stem from a Florida class action suit that the state’s supreme court ultimately decertified, allowing individual plaintiffs to recover against the nation's tobacco companies if they can prove the smokers in their cases suffered from nicotine addiction that caused a smoking-related disease.

The ongoing nature of the litigation has finely honed the courtroom skills of its attorneys, with CVN’s unrivaled Engle coverage capturing veritable master classes of trial work. It’s one reason why we honor the best Engle attorneys each year. 

And this year’s Engle Defense Attorney honoree went undefeated in a pair of high-stakes cases.
