Office of the Attorney General provides update on Washington Bridge litigation team

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Attributable to Tim Rondeau, Director of Communications:

“Max Wistow has advised us of his decision to withdraw from this litigation for professional reasons. We are grateful for Attorney Wistow’s contributions to this investigation and this case. It would have been our preference that he remain as part of the litigation team, but we respect his decision and are grateful that he agreed to remain in the case until we secured replacement counsel.

We are also pleased to announce our selection and retention of the law firm of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll who will work with Savage Law Partners under the direction of the Attorney General’s Office, to represent the State in the Washington Bridge lawsuit. Cohen Milstein has an extensive track record, which includes successfully navigating complex, high-profile matters, such as the landmark Flint, Michigan Water Contamination litigation.  We are looking forward to working with Cohen Milstein and are confident that their expertise will be instrumental in steering this matter to a successful outcome.”
