LJM
Lanier Junell McBride, PLLC (LJM) was formed to bring together three accomplished attorneys with complementary strengths and a shared commitment to representing children, young adults, and families harmed by the addictive design and practices of social media platforms.
The Social Media Addiction litigation presents unique challenges. Successfully pursuing these claims requires elite trial lawyers capable of taking cases before juries, sophisticated case administration systems capable of handling thousands of claimants and extensive medical and educational records, and experienced legal counsel to provide strategic guidance throughout the process. LJM was built specifically to deliver all three.
At LJM, Mark Lanier leads the litigation strategy for every case. Recognized as one of the nation's premier trial lawyers, Mark directs all aspects of litigation, including discovery, expert development, trial preparation, and courtroom advocacy. He also oversees settlement negotiations and resolution strategies designed to maximize recovery for LJM clients. His experience taking on some of the world's largest corporations provides clients with the proven trial leadership necessary in complex, high-stakes litigation.
William "Harris" Junell leads the administrative and client-service operations that are critical to the success of Social Media Addiction claims. His team oversees the comprehensive case workup process, including client communications, medical and mental health record collection, educational records, claim development, data management, and settlement administration. Having managed some of the largest mass tort dockets in the country, Harris brings unparalleled experience in transforming complex claimant inventories into trial-ready cases.
Supporting both firms is Ralph "Skip" McBride, who serves as Of Counsel to LJM. With more than four decades of litigation experience, Skip provides strategic guidance, legal analysis, and seasoned counsel on complex issues that arise throughout the life of a case. His wisdom, judgment, and extensive courtroom experience strengthen every aspect of the firm's representation.
Together, LJM combines nationally recognized trial excellence, large-scale litigation management, and decades of legal experience under one roof. This integrated approach allows clients to benefit from personalized service, sophisticated case preparation, and proven courtroom advocacy while providing the resources necessary to pursue claims against some of the largest technology companies in the world.
