Bell Legal Group files initial lawsuits on behalf of Camp Lejeune victims against United States government for toxic water exposure on military base

J. Edward Bell III, founder and senior partner of Bell Legal Group and president of Charleston School of Law, personally championed the passage of the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. For more than a decade, Bell worked with Camp Lejeune victims, including Master Sergeant J.M. Ensminger, USMC, Ret., the leading advocate for the cause, and Michael Partain, co-founder of the Few, the Proud the Forgotten, and elected officials to bring this legislation into law. It is the first time victims have the opportunity to seek justice for the unlawful exposure to contaminated water while on the military base.
