Powell Law Firm,L.C.
Nation's Leading Legal Team for ONJ Cases
Our Legal Team has been appointed to
the Plaintiff Steering Committee for both
the Zometa/Aredia and Fosamax Litigation

This committee has
the power to determine:
-what legal theories to pursue,
-what depositions will be taken
 and how to conduct discovery.


   On March 30, 2006, our legal team argued that
product liability actions against Novartis, makers of Zometa and Aredia, be tried as Multi-District Litigation (MDL) cases.
The Defendant Novartis opposed this motion.
On April 18, 2006, The Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation granted the motion.
We argued for this because we believe that
this process will save time and costs necessary
to litigate these cases.
