The additional partners are Eric Terry, Steven Davis, Kenneth Brennan, and Jacob Plattenberger who have all been with TorHoerman Law since 2009. Please join us in congratulating Eric, Steven, Kenneth, and Jacob. We look forward to continuing to work together and helping better serve our clients.
Additional Information About the New Partners:
As a plaintiffs' personal injury lawyer, Eric Terry primarily concentrates his practice on advocating for clients who have been harmed by negligence on the part of pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers. Prior to becoming an attorney, he worked for more than 10 years as a parole officer. While he enjoyed helping former convicts become responsible members of society, he also saw firsthand the devastating toll that drugs, including prescription drugs, can have on a person's life. He has represented clients in cases involving a multitude of prescription drugs and medical devices, including robotic surgical systems, Pradaxa, Januvia, vaginal mesh and Yaz.
Steven Davis has been representing people injured by the wrongful acts of pharmaceutical companies in the development and marketing of dangerous drugs and medical devices for 14 years.
While in law school, Steven worked at the offices of the Saline County, Illinois State’s Attorney and at the offices of the Vanderburgh, Indiana County Prosecutor. He received first-rate courtroom training as a legal representative for the counties, but was drawn to a career that would allow him to fight for everyday people.
At TorHoerman Law, Steven fights for victims harmed when manufacturers of drugs, medical devices, and chemicals put profit ahead of safety.
Throughout his career, Jacob W. Plattenberger has taken hundreds of depositions, argued in countless hearings and tried over 35 cases to a jury. This type of trial experience is exceedingly rare in complex civil litigation, and having seen it from the defense side gives Jake an added advantage.
Jacob anchors the TorHoerman Law Chicago office, where he focuses on nationwide, complex pharmaceutical and medical device litigations such as in Re:Incretin Mimetics Products Liability litigation currently pending in the Southern District of California, and the various Transvaginal Mesh multidistrict litigations pending in the Southern District of West Virginia. In addition to his involvement in pharmaceutical litigation, Jacob also maintains a personal injury practice representing individuals and families who have been victims of catastrophic auto and truck accidents, product failures, maritime accidents, and medical negligence.
Kenneth Brennan is an accomplished trial lawyer with over 20 years of experience in courtrooms throughout the United States. Kenneth’s extensive experience on both sides of the “v." has given him the broad range of practical knowledge and understanding required to address the complex technical and legal issues that arise in mass tort litigations. Kenneth is proud to have taken on some of the largest industries in the world – including the pharmaceutical, communications, auto, banking, and insurance industries. Kenneth is currently court-appointed lead counsel in consolidated litigation involving hundreds of plaintiffs injured by World War II era releases of radioactive material in and around St. Louis, Missouri. Prior to concentrating on mass tort cases, Kenneth had a successful career representing individual consumers, small businesses, multinational corporations, franchisors, and franchisees.
