The Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance is urging anyone with Chinese drywall problems to contact a lawyer as soon as possible, even if it it’s a lawyer who is not a member of the Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance. “The situation is too important for people to delay seeking legal help,” said Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance lawyer Mike Evans. If people want to contact our multistate group of law firms, they can call us free-of-charge at 1-800-509-5357, or use our free case review form.
Attorney Carroll H. Ingram said, “The MDL court in the Eastern District of Louisiana has recently entered an Order memorializing an agreement among the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee and Counsel for Knauf GIPS in Germany to accept service of process for an Omnibus Complaint to be filed on or before December 9, 2009. This is a very important event in the process of this MDL. To comply with the Court’s Order, all claims that can be included in this Omnibus Complaint should be submitted for inclusion no later than December 2, 2009. That means that any potential claimant who believes their home or building was built using sheetrock that was made in China should immediately contact an attorney who can help to protect their legal interests. Time is of the essence.”
Ingram is a partner in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi law firm of Ingram | Wilkinson, PLLC, which represents a number of clients who are filing claims in the Chinese drywall MDL litigation. Ingram | Wilkinson was one of the founding law firms of the Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance, a multistate coalition of law firms which have joined forces to represent people who have homes or buildings contaminated with toxic Chinese drywall.
Attorney Jennifer Wilkinson, also a partner in the Ingram | Wilkinson, PLLC law firm, said, “We are asking that all potential claimants contact us no later than November 27, 2009 for possible inclusion in the December 9, 2009 Omnibus Complaint. If contact is made after November 27, 2009, we cannot be certain that the appropriate inspection and processing can take place prior to the court-ordered deadlines. At this time, inclusion in the Omnibus Complaint is the best way to protect any legal interests claimants may have against the German company, Knauf GIPS.”
“Although the Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance plans to continue accepting clients and filing Chinese drywall claiims after the December 9 Omnibus Complaint, if people contact a lawyer now so they can be included in the Omnibus Complaint, that is almost certainly the fastest way to get a resolution of a potential Chinese drywall claim,” Evans said.
