McIntyre Tate LLP client Daniel Miller recently testified before the U.S.
Senate Judiciary Committee sub-committee hearing on compensation for American
victims of Palestinian and Iranian terrorism. Daniel was victimized in
a HAMAS triple suicide attack in downtown Jerusalem in 1997. Along with
several other American victims, he was a lead plaintiff in
Rubin vs. Islamic Republic of Iran, a suit filed by McIntyre Tate LLP attorneys on behalf of five victims
in the U.S. District Court in Washington DC. in 2001. After a four day
trial at which international experts on terrorism testified, Judge Ricardo
Urbina found in the victims favor and awarded them $71,000,000 in compensatory
damages and $180,000,000 in punitive damages. Since then, McIntyre Tate
LLP lawyers have pursued Iran in Chicago, Boston, Washington, California,
New York and several international jurisdictions to obtain satisfaction
of the judgment. Daniel's emotion and eloquent testimony can be found at
