ExperienceDefended a premises liability case through trial for a commercial client where the jury found no negligence on part of the client as it related to a personal injury due to a defective stair.
Negotiated reimbursement of thousands of dollars in legal defense costs to resolve commercial contract disputes involving indemnification agreements on behalf of clients being defended in various types of litigation.
Won a summary judgment in favor of our commercial client finding no duty was owed to a patron who tripped and fell in a mall. Secured this favorable decision by convincing the court to view the evidence showing the plaintiff was in an area of the property that was not under the control of our client, near individuals who were not employees/agents of our client.
