The Lanier Law Firm Unveils New Web site

HOUSTON – The Lanier Law Firm, the nationally recognized litigation powerhouse that recently won the nation’s first VIOXX-related jury verdict, has unveiled a new Web site at www.lanierlawfirm.com.

“Traffic to our site has increased tremendously with the rapid growth of our firm and the opening of our New York office,” says firm founder Mark Lanier. “We wanted to make sure that our site was offering visitors the most up-to-date information in the most user-friendly, state-of-the-art format. We hope that the new site will be a good resource for clients, potential clients, colleagues, and the news media.”

Visitors to the new site will be able to acquaint themselves with the firm’s many areas of expertise, says Lanier.

“We’re best known for our civil litigation verdicts,” Lanier says. “But we have a depth and breadth of practice outside the civil litigation arena that may surprise many people.”

In particular, he says, the firm has a formidable commercial litigation practice, as well as an experienced team of maritime lawyers and a significant pharmaceutical liability practice.

“In addition to our well-known asbestos practice, we also have significant experience in personal injury, product liability, and medical malpractice,” Lanier says.

In August, a Brazoria County, Texas, jury delivered a $253 million verdict against pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. on behalf of firm client Carol Ernst. In Atlantic City, The Lanier Law Firm is currently representing another plaintiff who contends that Merck didn’t provide sufficient warnings about the dangers of taking VIOXX. In addition to VIOXX, The Lanier Law Firm represents clients who have suffered side effects from the drugs Neurontin, Zyprexa, Celebrex, Bextra, and Accutane.
