The nation’s leading high protein snack company was sued in federal court over whether one of its nutrient claims was misleading. The case was being defended by a large Washington D.C. law firm that had run up colossal bills and accomplished nothing. The Food Lawyers were brought in to assist. We filed a motion to move the key issue in the case away from a jury trial and into a proceeding that would be decided by FDA scientists. Plaintiff knew its case was doomed and dismissed the entire matter in exchange for receiving a fraction of their attorneys’ fees incurred to that point.
