In 1993, a single mother with no legal training, no experikence as an attorney, helped bring a major corporation to its knees.
Erin Brockovich joined attorney Ed Masry in suing Pacific Gas & Electric, which was accused of poisoning the water supply in a small California town called Hinkley.
Soon, Hollywood heard about the story, and it was turned into a major Motion Picture in 2000, starring Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich.
In 2001, Brockovich wrote a book about her experience. That’s when I met her.
So here, from 2001, Erin Brockovich.
Erin Brockovich will be 64 next month.
She’s president of Brockovich Research & Consulting. And she is a consultant for law firms in New York and Australia.
