James Ostertag and Steve Smelser successfully defended Brake Parts Inc. LLC in the case of Solis v. Brake Parts Inc. LLC, $65 million lawsuit that multiple other defendants settled.
Ostertag and Smelser defeated the plaintiff’s claim that asbestos caused Mrs. Solis’ mesothelioma through a team of experts who effectively demonstrated that people can get mesothelioma without exposure to asbestos.
