The Daily Journal has published its annual listing of the “Top 100 Lawyers in California (subscription),” which includes a sixth-time selection for Lieff Cabraser partner Richard M. Heimann and a 19th-time selection for Lieff Cabraser partner Elizabeth J. Cabraser. Both are featured in the Daily Journal’s “Top 100 Lawyers in California” special edition, which discusses their past successes and ongoing case work in individual profiles.
The Journal’s profile of Elizabeth focuses on her recent leadership work in the Camp Lejeune Toxic Water cases, while the Journal’s profile of Richard’s highlights his key role in a recently-filed case involving a suspected Ponzi scheme within a California real estate investment business, where investors were led to believe they were investing in valuable properties in Sonoma County, only to discover the properties were dilapidated. Heimann and co-counsel are working actively to prevent the defendants from liquidating these properties and absconding with the investors’ funds.
Congratulations to Elizabeth and Richard on this prestigious and well-deserved recognition!
