Mr. Calhoun has extensive experience defending pharmaceutical products liability and toxic tort cases. He has successfully resolved complex lawsuits, through dispositive court rulings and favorable settlements, involving plaintiffs alleging wrongful death, neurological injury, serious adverse skin reactions, and other injuries. Mr. Calhoun achieved exclusion of plaintiffs’ property valuation expert in a multi-plaintiff federal lawsuit alleging PCB contamination after eliciting key deposition testimony from the expert. He obtained summary judgment for a pharmaceutical company based on testimony elicited from the physician who prescribed the medication to plaintiff. Mr. Calhoun helped defend two major railroad companies sued in connection with the largest train accident in this country’s history, which resulted in over 100 wrongful death and injury lawsuits filed in federal and state courts, and created high-tech trial exhibits that combined photographs, computer-generated graphics, and accident-reconstruction video footage. Mr. Calhoun has appeared at multiple hearings, taken expert depositions, drafted Daubert motions, and worked in every aspect of trial preparation. In serial litigation, Mr. Calhoun has encountered several complex confidentiality issues, which he has litigated at the trial level and on appeal, in both federal and state court. Mr. Calhoun's other pre-trial and trial experience includes the successful defense (favorable jury verdict) of a major D.C. hospital in a negligence action and the successful representation of an attorney sued in federal court on breach of fiduciary, fraud, and civil RICO theories. Mr. Calhoun served as law clerk to the Honorable Charles Richey of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He was Executive Editor of the Georgetown Law Journal.
