He is co-lead counsel for the school districts suing Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and Snap over social media addiction. In this episode, Mirena and Ron cover how he ended up representing school districts in one of the most closely watched pieces of litigation in the country, what the science currently shows heading into the next bellwether trials, and why he believes money is the single biggest reason plaintiff's attorneys make the wrong call for a client. Plus: how a defective pain pump case turned into a national mass tort practice, and why Ron keeps coming back to mass torts after swearing off them more than once.
