Appeal Set For Fen-Phen Lawyers

{Louisville, Kentucky}...The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday announced that arguments in the case of 58 year old William Gallion and 54 year old Shirley Cunningham Jr. will be January 17th in Cincinnati. The former attorneys were sentenced to decades in federal prison and ordered to pay $127 million in restitution for defrauding hundreds of clients in a settlement involving the diet-drug fen-phen. Gallion was sentenced to 25 years and Cunningham to 20 years after being convicted in 2009 of scamming clients out of $94.6 million.
