Our PPH Attorneys

Steven J. Kherkher

Steven J. Kherkher has been practicing law for nearly two decades, and is a long-time partner of Williams Kherkher. Steve has undergraduate and masters degrees from the University of Houston and graduated cum laude from South Texas College of Law. Steve is licensed to practice law in Texas, New York, Arkansas and Pennsylvania. He is a member of the American Bar Association, Houston Bar Association, and State Bar of Texas.

Steve successfully tired dozens of fen-phen cases, and is currently heading up the Vioxx docket. Steve is responsible for managing several pharmaceutical dockets, such as PPH.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, or PPH, is a rare disorder of the lungs in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery – which carries oxygen-poor blood from the heart's right ventricle to the lungs – reaches dangerously high levels. Side effects from defective drugs such as fen-phen and the Orho Evra birth control patch have been shown to cause PPH.

John T. Boundas

John T. Boundas co-manages the firm's PPH docket. John, also a partner at Williams Kherkher, was first in his class at the University of Iowa College of Law. He is licensed to practice law in Texas, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Additionally, John is licensed to practice in the U.S. District Courts for the Southern, Western and Northern Districts of Texas, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

John tried several of the firm's fen-phen cases in recent years, many of which involved patients with PPH. He is now heavily involved in the litigation surrounding the defective drugs Vioxx and Paxil.
