Depuy Pinnacle Artificial Hip Lawsuits: The Basics
Clay Hodges

Clay Hodges

I answered some of the questions provided by a former client of mine in Part 1. Today I will work through more questions from The List.

Clay Hodges

I have had bad eyesight since I was a teenager. Now in my mid-forties, I have endured retinal tears, cataracts, elevated eye pressure, even something called vitreous detachment.

Testosterone: The Story of A (Mostly) Unnecessary Drug Therapy
Clay Hodges

Part 1 Can you imagine the excitement from the marketing department when the drug company chemists walked in and said: “all right everyone, we have a new product, an easy-to-use roll-on gel that will increase a man’s energy, improve muscle tone, help him lose weight, and reawaken his sexual interest.” I’ve never taken a marketing…

Clay Hodges

This is the story of the lawsuit involving Austin Pledger, an autistic boy who grew large female breasts as a result of taking Johnson & Johnson’s antipsychotic drug Risperdal.

I’m grateful for other firms saying “no” to me in the process because many of them did not have the...
