Last night a tentative $490M settlement was reached with the University of Michigan. The settlement involves 1,050 claimants. In addition, a $30M fund has tentatively been proposed for future claimants. If you have any question, please feel free to message me. Congratulations to all of my clients who stood firm these last two years. This is a step in the right direction towards accountability and justice.
