Gibbs| Issac | Stueve have filed 3M defective earplug lawsuits that allege that the defective earplugs caused significant hearing loss or tinnitus in military servicemembers. Current and former military servicemembers, who served any time from 2003 to 2015, should contact us by filling out the form below or calling 866 211-4118. All consultations are free and confidential.
Greg served in Korea from 1979 to 1981. As a platoon leader, he ran recon and ambush patrols in the DMZ and drew hostile fire and later served as a JAG officer from 1982 to 2006, before retiring from the military. Greg has hearing loss due to his service.
Greg, a lead trial attorney on the 3M earplug team, has decades of experience trying cases in state and federal court.
Greg sees this case as a way to pay back service members who "have written a blank check to their country when they enlisted."
Greg said in an interview that it is "outrageous" that 3M would distribute earplugs it knew were defective to “those who are willing to lay their lives on the line."

"I served our country with pride and honor, but if this company sold us faulty equipment, and knew about it, then that's so wrong. No soldier should be going through what I'm going through. I would like some guidance in this matter."
