- Spencer Sheehan is a lawyer well known for having brought many class-action lawsuits against food companies. The majority of his lawsuits have been dismissed and he has been sanctioned by courts for his conduct, including a pattern of duplicating lawsuits deemed frivolous.
- As we reported last year, a Florida District Court ordered him to pay attorney fees in one such duplicate case, which featured allegations of other questionable conduct, including the alleged fabrication of a lab result, and an argument that he was not an attorney of record in the Florida case (and therefore not responsible) because he had not complied with a court order to file a motion for pro hac vice admission.
- In an August 2025 decision, the 11th Circuit reviewed the District Court’s decision to award $144,047 in attorney fees, finding that the hours and hourly rates used to compute the awarded fees were reasonable.
