Susman Godfrey’s Marc Seltzer, one of three temporary lead plaintiffs’ counsel appointed by U.S. District Judge James Selna in the Toyota Motor Corp. multidistrict litigation, has plenty of experience leading massive class actions.

A Los Angeles native who opened Susman’s L.A. office in 1998, Seltzer already has played an instrumental role in getting the MDL in the Central District of California.
