Supreme Court To Hear Fen-Phen Appeal

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in an appeal from a group of people sickened by the diet-drug fen-phen who say that a $42 million judgment awarded to them from their one-time attorneys should be reinstated. The high court has set oral arguments in the case for June 13th at 11:00 A.M. in Frankfort. Former clients of attorneys William Gallion, Shirley Cunningham Jr., and Melbourne Mills claim the men improperly kept a significant portion of the funds, while keeping clients in the dark about the amount of the $200 million settlement.
