Our Engle cards track the CVN trial stats of some of the best attorneys on both sides of Florida’s unique tobacco litigation. "Engle prodigy" cases, as they're widely known, include thousands of claims spun off from a decertified class action against the nation's tobacco companies, with the first Engle prodigy trial dating back to 2008.
