Ky. judge: Asbestos firm should have turned over trust claim evidence to defendants

Personal injury lawyers' actions in an asbestos trial were deemed "disingenuous" and "disturbing," by Kentucky Circuit Judge Judith McDonald-Burkman on July 23, 2015. In a case against General Electric, lawyers from Satterley & Kelley failed to disclose that they had begun submitting a claim to the Johns Manville trust on behalf of a client. The Judge added, "You’re pregnant or you’re not. You submitted a claim or you didn’t. And that’s the problem I have."
