Daniel P. Lefler

As director of the firm's securities litigation group, Lefler is the kind of litigator that major companies turn to in times of need. He currently is defending Broadcom in federal court in Los Angeles against an onslaught of allegations that the integrated-circuit giant misrepresented its financial results. He also is representing three of the nation's largest petrochemical producers in Los Angeles County Superior Court against ongoing allegations by Texaco that nitrous-oxide-contaminated natural gas caused widespread damage to Texaco's utility systems.
