A number of Wine Care Storage clients have written me and asked how they could join the litigation.

Please note at the present time, I have not commenced litigation.  Mr. Phillip Waterman III has brought an action seeking information and inspection.

I would propose to the group that we retain litigation counsel to pursue our claims against Wine Care Storage.  While my wife is a litigation lawyer with her own practice, we are not comfortable representing a group of claimants.  We believe that the better way to proceed is to hire third party counsel.  By having a large group of claimants, we should be able to hold the costs down.

It seems to me that there are two distinct groups of claimants - those wine storage customers who purchased premium insurance and those who did not.  Otherwise, I believe that every one is in the same boat that is "under water".

If any one who has a suggestion for litigation counsel, please make a comment on this blog.  In my view the ideal counsel would be from a small firm who would be willing to do this on reasonable hourly rates and/ or on a capped basis.  In a future post, I will make some suggestions as to potential lawyers.
