“It is worth reiterating that the advocacy on both sides of the case was outstanding. I have decades of experience with attorneys from the law firms on both sides of this case, which are nationally recognized for their work prosecuting and defending large, complex class actions such as this. All counsel displayed the highest level of professionalism in carrying out their duties on behalf of their respective clients. The settlement is the direct result of all counsel’s experience, reputation, and ability in these types of complex class actions.” Eagle Canyon Owners’ Association v. USA Waste of California, Inc., Case No. 37-2018-00005897 (declaration in support of plaintiff’s motion for final approval of a class action settlement providing $7.85 million in cash payments made to class members, an amount which represented approximately 50% – 90% of the total, potential class-wide damages).
