Residential Flush Door Antitrust Litigation
(U.S. v. Premdor Inc., Premdor U.S. Holdings, Inc., International Paper Company, and Masonite Corporation, Civil No.: 1:01CV01696 (D.C. Cir. 2001))

Between June 1, 1990 and December 31, 1994, flush door manufacturers, one of which was headquartered in Tampa, Florida, allegedly conspired to fix prices of residential flush doors. The flush door manufacturers included Steves & Sons, Inc., Arrow Door Co., Inc., Jeffrey Gotlieb, Premdor Corp, LEDCO, Inc., Illinois Flush Door, Inc., and Young Door Co. $6 Million in criminal fines were paid; a class action was brought into Court, which resulted in settlement of these allegations. Under the settlement agreement, door manufacturers contributed $2.4 Million in residential door discount certificates, as well as monetary amounts to the settlement fund. We assisted potential claimants file for settlement. One of our claimants had about $100,000 in certificates but could no longer use the certificates; we assisted this claimant in bartering with another claimant who could use the certificates.
