Bio

Erin Pattee was born to one of four Betty Jo children (nee O’Neal). Her father, while her mother was a journalist, was a former American football player who turned Industrial engineer. The brothers are Frank Jr. Jodie and Thomas Pattee. Brockovich attended high school in Lawrence before going on to study at Kansas State University. She later transferred to Dallas Texas Wade College where she graduated with an Associate Degree in Applied Arts in 1980.

Personal Life

After seeking love to wander around the world with her family until the marriage ended, she fled the crown. She went on to find employment as an assistant at a Reno Nevada brokerage firm. A couple of years later, Brokovich was involved in an almost fatal car accident that required neck surgery for her. She went on to sue the other party involved through a MasryVititoe law firm located in San Fernando County, and ultimately a settlement was awarded. Nevertheless, the income was very small and she and her family were unable to support her which forced her to get a job to meet ends. Erin Brockovich had been given a $2.5 million fee for her relentless pursuit of the issue. The case earned national coverage and caught the attention of Hollywood producers who turned the story into Erin Brokovich (2000) movie, with Julia Roberts playing the main character. The film was a critical and commercial success raking in over $250 million and winning multiple awards. It also brought tremendous attention to the real Erin Brockovich when she embarked on a career in environmental activism and advocacy while also writing a number of books and becoming a speaker in general. Since then, she has been involved in dozens of cases against companies in the pharmaceutical and manufacturing automotive sectors, while also setting up a consulting business that monitors environmental hazards around the world. Erin Brockovich-Ellis is an American clerk and environmental activist with a net worth of $10 million.

Erin Brockovich was born in Lawrence Kansas on 22nd June 1960. Her battle against the energy company PGE (Pacific Gas and Electric Giant) gained worldwide attention when her story was turned into a 2000 film that chronicled her passionate efforts in the event. Megastar Julia Roberts was featured at the film. Despite her lack of formal law education, Brockovich played a major role in building a case against California’s PGE in 1993 which she accomplished by partnering with a reluctant lawyer named Edward L. Masry, based in Thousand Oaks, California. The case alleged contamination of drinking water in southern California town of Hinkley with hexavalent chromium. In 1996, the case was settled for $333 million, the highest settlement ever reached in the U.S. history of a direct action lawsuit. She is the president of Brockovich Research and Consulting, and works as a consultant for Girardi Keese and Weitz Luxenberg’s New York law firm (which focuses on asbestos exposure claims for personal injury) as well as Shine Lawyers in Australia. In 2001 she wrote the book Take It From Me: Life is a Struggle But You Can Win.
