Charleston Attorney, Harry F. Bell, Jr., of Bell & Bands, PLLC, has been named national Plaintiff’s Co-Liaison Counsel in nationwide mass tort litigation involving the heart drug Digitek, consolidated in the United States District Court of the Southern District of West Virginia.
By Order issued by Chief Judge Joseph Robert Goodwin on September 26, 2008, Bell and South Carolina attorney Fred Thompson were selected to act as the liaison representatives of all plaintiffs and their attorneys who have filed Digitek suits in the United States.
