Lawyer Overview

Mr. Volk is a partner at Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro where he has worked since 1996.

Extensively involved in the Tobacco Litigation, he wrote many of the major briefs on behalf of the states represented by the firm. In addition, he helped research and develop legal theories used in the action, as well as drafting and amending complaints. Mr. Volk also headed the successful attack on defendants' claims that millions of documents were privileged. As a result, Washington state gained access to key documents - long hidden by the tobacco companies - that supported the state's allegations that the tobacco companies intentionally targeted children, intentionally hid their knowledge of the dangers of tobacco and lied to consumers and government regulators.

Mr. Volk currently works on ERISA cases for breach of fiduciary duties on behalf of current and former employees of Enron, IPALCO and the Montana Power Company.

Prior to joining Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro, Mr. Volk taught legal writing and research at the University of Oregon School of Law. He also spent three years as a staff attorney at the Criminal Appeals Bureau of the Legal Aid Society in New York City.

Mr. Volk earned his undergraduate degree from Columbia University. He graduated cum laude from Cornell Law School in 1991 and served as an articles editor of the Cornell International Law Journal. He is admitted to practice in New York, Oregon and Washington.
