LOS ANGELES (Dec. 10)— Joseph and Gail Lisoni, the Pasadena, Calif.-based plaintiffs' attorneys leading a class action lawsuit to obtain a court-ordered recall of 30 million Firestone Steeltex tires, have always performed according to "the highest standards of the (legal) profession" in representing their clients, according to a letter to the State Bar of California.
Michael G. Gerner, the Lisonis´ lawyer, sent the letter to answer charges from Bridgestone/Firestone that the Lisonis continually made false statements about the company and the Steeltex tire in connection with the class action.
