On May 11, 2017, Judge Joseph Laplante entered an order appointing Kevin Hannon of The Hannon Law Firm, LLC and Paul DeCarolis of Gottesman and Hollis, P.A. as co-lead interim counsel in Brown v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corp. The Judge cited one of the reasons for his decision was the amount of work Hannon and DeCarolis have done to identify and investigate potential claims in the action before the suits were filed, including identifying the proposed classes and consulting with experts to define the claims.
