Max Swetman was selected in the areas of Product Liability Defense, Mass Tort Litigation, and Class Action Defense.

In addition to a law degree, Max holds a Master's Degree in Environmental Science and Policy, and a Master's of Public Health Degree in Epidemiology.

Chris currently serves on the National Trial Team for multiple clients, and has defended his clients in numerous cases as lead trial counsel. Even when trial is not desired, Chris's experience at all levels of both simple and complex litigation allows him to provide his clients with a comprehensive defense for their cases. Chris has also been retained by clients to reevaluate their litigation strategies, defend fact, corporate and expert witnesses in deposition and trial, and to step in and try cases at a moment's notice.

David Frohn was selected in the area of Product Liability Defense. With more than 35 years of jury trial, product liability, and insurance litigation experience, David focuses his practice on the defense of domestic and international manufacturers of consumer and industrial products.
