Reyes Browne Reilley

Synthesized by Claude Opus 4.8 from the signals

Reyes Browne Reilley runs a punitives-first playbook: take a documented compliance deviation—an hours-of-service violation, a lockout/tagout failure logged in OSHA 301—and reframe it as corporate indifference to stack punitive damages, with the willful-conduct theory in Brown v. MidWest Steel piercing exclusive remedy outright. The recent results validate the approach, the $27.8M Mendoza verdict in Texas being the current high-water mark. With five open suits against book businesses and 13 named or targeted across a $127,668 monthly ad spend, the firm is actively sourcing the next file—but the venue and theory specifics on those open matters are not yet known.
