RECENT UPDATE:
Albrechta & Coble, Ltd. has recently undertaken the representation of clients in a class action law suit against Whirlpool Corporation in Clyde, Sandusky County, Ohio. For years, clients have been asking us to get involved because they could not get anyone to do anything. The lawyers and staff in our office waited, hoping that the families in Clyde would get results from state and federal agencies. To the dismay of our clients and the Clyde community, all they were getting was incomplete information and no answers.
As a former Legislative Liaison for the Ohio Sierra Club (prior to law school) a former intern with the Ohio Environmental Council (following college), a founding member of the last Sierra Club Chapter in Toledo Ohio (created during law school), a former member of the Board of the Ohio Sierra Club and Ohio Environmental Council and now the President of the Christy Farm Nature Preserve I have seen, lived and worked in environmental law in Ohio for over 35 years. This issue in Clyde is an environmental catastrophe and demands the attention of everyone.
In the 1980's it was Joe Albrechta that initiated the class action lawsuit against Sun Oil Company that evacuated thousands from their homes and businesses. When that suit (lasting 11 years) was filed, nearly all local, business and public officials criticized us and our clients for filing suit. We were even criticized from church pulpits and letters to the editor. They said it was premature. They said there was no proof. But over 11 years we doggedly fought for our clients with the help and assistance of other area law firms. We eventually got to the truth. We found the cause--not without great cost and after many denials, uncovered truths and false claims being disproven. We settled the case and thousands of people in Sandusky County were finally and justly compensated for their loss.
The Whirlpool case in now our challenge. Just like in past, our office and staff is dedicated to the rights of all of our clients. We will pursue the truth where ever it leads. We will find the answers. We do not pursue these matters alone. As in the past, we will be partnering with law firms having the expertise needed to fill out our legal responsibilities to our clients and the procedures of the Court.
It is unfortunate that the search for the truth in the Clyde Cancer Cluster region cannot be done except in the Courts. Federal and state executive authority (Ohio EPA and U.S. EPA) do not give citizens the same rights and authority as they have in the Courts. In the eyes of the law, and under the auspices of the sitting judge, citizens have the same rights as multinational corporations. Citizens have the right to be heard, to get their questions answered, to secure hidden records and documents, to uncover the past and reveal truth. We seek ACCOUNTABILITY AND CLOSURE. We do this for our clients, for our community and for the sake of future generations.
While doing this, we will continue to offer the high quality legal services to all of our client in our other areas of practice:
Personal Injury and Wrongful Death litigation
Probate and Estate Planning
Domestic Relations and Custody
Business Planning, management and litigation
Civil Rights
Criminal Defense
We will continue to work for ALL of our clients in our office. 50 and 60 hour weeks without overtime pay is the norm in our office.
If you would like to have hard working lawyers dedicated to your cause, who live in your community, shop at the same shops, play in the same parks and walk the same streets as you walk, please contact Albrechta & Coble, Ltd. and meet with lawyers Joe Albrechta and John Coble, for a consultation.
