With the help of John Coffey, Bernstein Litowitz has become a top-tier class action firm. In 2005, he helped win a $6.1 billion settlement in the WorldCom securities-fraud case. Coffey and another partner who handled the WorldCom case, Max Berger, are a dynamic duo at the firm. They've been dubbed a "great pair," and the industry has taken note of their successes. The firm was ranked the No. 1 plaintiffs' law firm for 2004 by Institutional Shareholder Services, with settlements valued at $3.5 billion. Coffey also soared to great heights outside the courtroom, when he served as a pilot in the Navy.
