Our Team

The lawyers on the case.

Not a referral network. Not a call center. The attorneys whose names are on the pleadings and the settlement agreements — supported by one of the most experienced mass-tort case teams in the country.

Founding Partners

Leadership that tries and closes.

Parker Stinar

Founding Partner

Parker G. Stinar is a nationally recognized trial lawyer in high-stakes sexual-abuse, institutional-failure, and catastrophic-injury litigation. Courts across the country have appointed him to serve as lead counsel, and he has helped secure more than $1.5 billion in global settlements — including the $490M, $350M, $141M, $70M, and $37M resolutions where he personally signed the settlement agreement. Described as one of the nation's leading attorneys holding powerful institutions accountable for enabling sexual predators, Parker has tried more than a dozen cases as first-chair counsel.

Patrick Lannen

Founding Partner

Patrick C. Lannen is a commercial trial lawyer with a perfect 12–0 record in both state and federal courts. He leads the firm's mass actions, class actions, and bet-the-company commercial litigation — including a $37.2 million jury verdict in 2025 and more than $140 million in class-action settlements. When a case has to be won in front of a jury, Patrick is who tries it.
