Ellen A. Presby Has Been Recognized Among the Top in Her Industry by the Expert Network©

Dallas, TX, April 4, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​Ellen A. Presby​, Head of Pharmaceutical Department, Nemeroff Law Firm, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation only service for distinguished professionals. Presby​ has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout her career.

Presby​ outshines others in her field due to her extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. She received her BS from the University of California, Davis in 1981 majoring in International Relations. She received her law degree from the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in 1984.

"In terms of products, any new drug that comes out, if you watch it, in three or four years, you'll see where the failure to test was. It's always a risk versus benefit test, and a question of whether there really was a safer alternative to achieve the benefit. Not every device or pharmaceutical product is a good subject for litigation since most will not cause an injury that wasn't knowable to the physician or the patient, but some do. So, the trends change all the time."

​With over 30 years dedicated to law, Presby​ brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry, particularly to her areas of specialization, personal injury, products liability, and pharmaceutical injury law. When asked why she decided to pursue to career in law, Presby​ said:

"I had a desire for justice that hit me when I was eight years old. I remember writing out my life plan in the third grade, and it included going to law school at SMU, where I actually ended up going."

Since graduating from SMU in 1984, Presby’s career has been marked by compassion and perseverance in representing individuals who have been harmed by defective products and negligent pharmaceutical corporations. Her success has culminated being named the Head of the Pharmaceutical Department at Nemeroff, where she focuses on litigation against pharmaceutical companies for injuries that consumers suffer from using their products. She notes that a typical claim is from a company failing to provide full and accurate information to the physicians or the FDA about a given drug.

As a thought-leader in her industry, Presby keeps abreast of recent trends that could potentially affect consumers of pharmaceutical products. In particular, she notes the challenge of staying current on the myriad of new drugs and other pharmaceutical devices that reach the market every year. She noted:

"In terms of products, any new drug that comes out, if you watch it, in three or four years, you'll see where the failure to test was. It's always a risk versus benefit test, and a question of whether there really was a safer alternative to achieve the benefit. Not every device or pharmaceutical product is a good subject for litigation since most will not cause an injury that wasn't knowable to the physician or the patient, but some do. So, the trends change all the time."
