Ocean Spring, Miss. (Lexis Nexis/PRWEB ) December 11, 2009 -- Luckey & Mullins,

a Gulf Coast law firm that represents plaintiffs in a wide range of

personal injury, construction defect, products liability and toxic mold

cases, has joined forces with five other highly regarded law firms to

form the Chinese Drywall Legal Network.

This unique joint venture group is made up of a diverse team of

expert attorneys with a combined 150 years of experience in handling

the complex legal issues that arise in disputes involving defective

construction products, such as Chinese drywall. In addition to Ocean Spring,

Miss.-based Luckey & Mullins, The Chinese Drywall Legal Network includes law

firms with offices in Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina and

Washington, D.C.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there was a serious

shortage of domestic drywall needed in the construction of new housing

units. In response, U.S. distributors began importing large amounts of

drywall from China, which was never adequately tested or inspected. It

has now been found to contain significant amounts of sulfur and

sulfur-related compounds and other impurities. In addition to a variety

of structural problems that these compounds can cause to a house,

homeowners have also been reporting physical ailments, including

coughing, irritated eyes, sneezing, sore throat, difficulty breathing,

bloody noses and headaches after being exposed to the problematic

Chinese drywall.

" Our team of experienced and well-respected lawyers has successfully

represented thousands of homeowners in other defective construction

litigation cases, often winning multimillion-dollar verdicts and

settlements for our clients, " said Steve Mullins,

partner in Luckey & Mullins. " We are heavily involved in the

multidistrict litigation Chinese drywall action in New Orleans right

now and the attorneys in our network hold many key positions and are

either co-chairs or members of 17 committees that have been formed to

help streamline Chinese drywall cases through the courts. We are at the

leading edge of this litigation and have access to the latest court

decisions, experts and case strategies for helping consumers who have

claims they wish to pursue. "

According to Mullins, significantly more than 500 million pounds of

Chinese drywall was imported into the U.S. and up to 100,000 homes,

condos, and apartment units likely contain the problematic Chinese

drywall right now. " We are at the tip of the iceberg right now, "

Mullins said, " and all we are sure of at this time is that this is the

most significant construction defect problem to ever face this nation

and the consequences of how we deal with it will be both far reaching

and long lasting. "
