Pulaski Kherkher

What Pulaski Kherkher does

Pulaski Kherkher, PLLC is a Houston, Texas-based plaintiff-side personal injury and mass tort law firm founded in 1990 and registered as a professional limited liability company (PLLC). The firm represents individual claimants — and, in MDL and class action contexts, large plaintiff pools — across more than 30 practice areas covering pharmaceutical litigation (Zantac, talcum powder, Actos, Lipitor, Yaz/Yasmin, Pradaxa, Risperdal, Elmiron, Byetta, Tasigna, Viagra), medical device litigation (vaginal mesh, Mirena IUD, Essure, DePuy hip, STAR ankle, IVC filters), toxic and environmental exposure (Camp Lejeune water contamination, Paraquat, asbestos/mesothelioma), product liability (3M Combat Arms Earplugs, GM ignition switch, Roundup, Bumbo, Nap Nanny), insurance litigation (hurricane, flood, and California wildfire business interruption), and general personal injury. The firm operates nationally from a single Houston office at 2925 Richmond Avenue, Suite 1725, with 11–50 employees.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through contingency fee arrangements, taking a percentage of settlement or verdict proceeds with no upfront cost to clients. Client acquisition is sales-led and content-driven: prospective claimants discover the firm through SEO-optimized practice area pages, news and blog content on active mass torts, a free case evaluation form, and a toll-free phone intake line (1-800-223-3784). Pulaski Kherkher holds leadership positions in major MDLs, including attorney Katherine L. Cornell's appointment to the Plaintiff Steering Committee in the 3M Combat Arms Earplugs MDL (the largest MDL in U.S. history, 203,722 actions) and participation in the first 3M earplug bellwether trial, which produced a $7,130,500 plaintiffs' verdict in May 2021. The firm's strategic posture is that of an experienced mass tort participant expanding into emerging claim categories (Camp Lejeune, Paraquat, Zantac, milk-based formula NEC, California wildfire, clergy abuse) while maintaining a long-running insurance litigation franchise anchored by Hurricane Harvey claims.
