Skilled and experienced defense counsel for a complex case

Our company retained Martin Kasten when we faced a significant product liability class action in federal court. His deep experience in mass tort and class action defense was immediately apparent. He provided a clear, strategic assessment of our position and guided us through the complexities of the litigation with a steady hand. His recognition in these practice areas is well-deserved. While his billing rates reflect his expertise, the overall value was there. Communication was generally excellent, though there were a few instances where we had to follow up for updates. Ultimately, his 26 years of trial experience and knowledge of Arkansas state and federal courts were instrumental in achieving a favorable settlement for our business.
