This is Steve Leshner, writing the first entry in my new blog. I will be covering news and cases involving personal injury, medical malpractice and products liability law.
I've been practicing law for 32 years, and most of my current case load involves auto accidents, medical malpractice, vaccine injury, and product liability cases. I also serve occasionally as a Judge Pro Tem in the Maricopa County Superior Court, handling settlement conferences scheduled for trial, sitting in for Judges on their daily calendars, and presiding over jury trials.
Another thing I enjoy doing is conducting focus groups for other lawyers. These activities give me access to jurors and potential jurors, and help me analyze and evaluate my own cases in a way I wouldn't be able to otherwise. When you're handling personal injury cases, it is not enough to know the facts of your case and applicable law-to be successful, you have to know how to present your case in a way that a juror will want to award a just verdict for your client. A lawyer should not only be able to think and talk like a lawyer, but to think like a juror, and be able to talk to a juror so they can understand and appreciate your client's case.

Accutane is a severe acne treatment manufactured by Hoffman-LaRoche, Inc. which has been found to cause inflammatory bowel disorder, which also includes chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. If you or someone you know has been taking Accutane, and developed serious injuries to the colon and rectum as a result, please call, e-mail or write me to discuss your potential claim

Topic: PRODUCT LIABILITY
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Many people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fibers. For example, an auto mechanic who worked for many years installing brakes and clutches, and developed mesothelioma, would have a claim against the manufacturers, suppliers and sellers of brakes and clutches containing asbestos. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please call, e-mail or write me to discuss your potential claim.
