Thorough defense of extensive and complex construction defect allegations and issues motivated the plaintiff to seek resolution, avoiding trial risk and client exposure in excess of $35 million.; Obtained a defense verdict in a contentious case with a complicated fact scenario involving the calculation of income-based bonuses for managers at a high-volume entertainment business.; Successfully defended an individual who struck two pedestrians in a crosswalk while driving his personal car home from work where liability was stipulated. The pedestrians sustained catastrophic injuries, and the employer's insurance carrier denied defense and indemnity. In the damages phase, the plaintiff sought $10 million for catastrophic personal injuries, but after a successful trial, achieved a jury verdict of $1 million. The employer faced verdict exposure over the client's personal insurance coverage limits.
