Because Tradition Matters
The late Melvin M. Belli is credited with pioneering the foundations of modern consumer rights law. His work formed the basis for later lawsuits and landmark litigation by prominent figures such as Ralph Nader. He was known as the “King of Torts” and won over $600 million in judgments during his distinguished career.
Melvin M. Belli filed and won the first class action lawsuit to be tried in this country for alleged human rights violations in a foreign country. In the punitive damages portion of the trial, Melvin C. Belli persuaded a Honolulu jury to award $1.2 billion in punitive damages against the estate of former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos for the mass torture of over 10,000 victims.
