A seasoned and internationally recognized litigator, advocate, and author, Rob has handled and led some of the most novel and complex cases in the country involving damage from exposure to PFAS, including the first individual, class action, mass tort, and multi-district litigation proceedings involving PFAS, recovering over $1 billion for clients impacted by the chemicals.  He has gained international prominence in connection with uncovering and disclosing the world-wide impact of environmental contamination by PFAS. His story is chronicled in his book, “Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Battle against DuPont,” and is the inspiration for the feature film, “Dark Waters” and documentary, “The Devil We Know.”

Rob currently serves in key leadership positions in on-going PFAS litigation all across the country, including national plaintiffs’ Advisory Counsel in thousands of cases consolidated in on-going multi-district litigation involving PFAS in certain firefighting foams, in addition to being class counsel for millions of people seeking medical monitoring and health studies on PFAS.
