T. Hardee Bass and Harold K. Gordon, CVN's inaugural Engle Progeny Attorney Award winners.
With 31 key trials, including a record-setting, $23.6 billion verdict in one case alone, 2014 was a landmark year in CVN's coverage of Engle litigation. To reflect on the outstanding trial work in such influential proceedings, we present the attorneys and firms we believe shone brightest in 2014.
Plaintiff's Attorney of the Year: T. Hardee Bass
While other attorneys may have finished the year with larger verdict totals, Bass's 3-0-1 record in just over 36 weeks was eye-popping. Further, his $20 million award in Odom v. R.J. Reynolds was the fourth biggest CVN verdict of the year.
