Lummi Nation v. Engineering Firm
$4.25 million settlement
Mike represented the Lummi Indian Nation in a lawsuit against an engineering firm that had uncovered human skeleton's in a construction site. The crew had found human remains at a known burial ground for the tribe but had not alerted the tribe and the government, as required. After Mike became involved in the case, he was able to negotiate a settlement that ensured that the ancestral remains were returned. His client received a settlement of $4.25 million, which was shared by more than 1,230 tribal members. With the help of these recovery funds, this once-sacred ground is gradually returning to a pristine condition.
