Significant Representative Matters

  • Defense verdict in lawsuit filed against a major, nationally recognized retail chain alleging both intentional torts and negligence.  Client was entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs based on issuance of Proposal for Settlement/Offer of Judgment.

  • Favorable verdict in motor vehicle accident trial in which client admitted negligence in the operation of motor vehicle.  Verdict was favorable in that jury awarded far less than what client had previously offered plaintiff at mediation.

  • Dismissal of premises liability case after deposition of third party plaintiff.  Upon careful interrogation of claimant, it was revealed during the deposition that the documents offered in support of the claim were not what they were purported to be.
