The Lamb Firm, L.L.C.
is managed by general partner and attorney Archie Lamb. Over the past
5 years, Archie has been a driving force in national class-action litigation
concerning major healthcare and business issues. His experience and expertise
on healthcare policy and small business interests along with his record
in multi-district class-action litigation has garnered national recognition.
He was recently honored with the prestigious President’s Award from
the California Medical Association.
The Lamb Firm seeks to protect the rights of individuals
and businesses against controlling, unjust and dysfunctional systems.
Representing over 700,000 physicians nationwide, Archie Lamb took on
managed care. Archie believed the system in place took advantage of physicians,
deprived patients of quality care and gave excessive power and control
to insurance companies. Settlements with two of the nation’s largest
for-profit insurance companies have proven the system must be changed
to preserve the relationship between doctor and patient. Changes are set
to take place, as specified in the settlement agreements won by the physicians.
This suit has already lead to substantial reforms by the managed care industry
including improvements in billing practices and the creation of a multi-million
dollar foundation focused on improving healthcare.
Archie Lamb also represents over 25,000 independent, local pharmacists
seeking national class-action status against Pharmacy Benefit Managers
(PBMs) for illegal activity and abusive business practices. This action
has been brought to ensure patients’ access to their selected pharmacists
and to ensure that independent pharmacists will be able to provide quality
care to the people who seek over 1.3 billion prescriptions from them each
year.
In November 2002,Archie Lamb successfully led a landmark
case against the makers of Metabolife. It was the first case of its kind
to be decided on behalf of four injured purchasers of the product and
their families.
The Lamb Firm, L.L.C. also has extensive experience in pharmaceutical
litigation dealing with such drugs as FenPhen I and II, Rezulin, and others.
