A successful attorney and resident of Los Angeles, R. Brent Wisner holds both a juris doctor and a master of public policy from Georgetown University. R. Brent Wisner obtained two landmark verdicts and also received much recognition for his work on Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup litigation.
Roundup weed killer, a glyphosate-based herbicide, has been designated as a potent human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The herbicide is manufactured by Monsanto (now called Bayer). People who have used Roundup weed killers such as gardeners, farmers, and agricultural workers have high chances of developing a certain lymphatic system cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma, among other cancers. Three cases have been successfully tried against Monsanto, resulting in verdicts totaling $2.42 billion. Since the affected population has to go through the challenges of massive medical bills, consumers and individuals who were exposed to Roundup need to be compensated for their injuries. The Monsanto Roundup lawsuit was designed to ensure this justice.
