About Rhon Jones
Rhon Jones joined Beasley Allen in 1994 and leads the firm's Toxic Torts Section. He is recognized as one of the country's leading environmental plaintiff attorneys, having secured over $30 billion in total recoveries for his clients. He played a central role in the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill litigation, helping recover more than $10 billion for individuals and businesses and an additional $18.5 billion for federal, state, and local governments. When the opioid crisis hit Alabama and Georgia, Rhon represented both states, guiding their legal strategies and helping Georgia secure more than $1 billion in opioid settlement proceeds. He earned his B.A. from Auburn University and his J.D. from the University of Alabama, and began his legal career as a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Robert Varner.
Proven verdicts and settlements
Monsanto and its chemical spinoff Solutia agreed in August 2003 to pay $700 million to resolve claims from more than 21,000 Anniston, Alabama residents who were exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls the company manufactured and dumped near their homes for nearly four decades.
Beasley Allen, representing Alabama on contingency, secured $220 million from opioid distributors Cardinal Health and Cencora after roughly 18 months of litigation, with every dollar directed to statewide opioid abatement programs.
