PRIOR RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE A SIMILAR OUTCOME
• Obtained a defense verdict in a premises liability claim where the plaintiff claimed she required lumbar and cervical surgeries as the result of an automobile collision. At closing, the plaintiff sought over one million dollars in damages. The jury returned a complete defense verdict, and the client was able to enforce a prior proposal for settlement to obtain attorney’s fees.
• Successfully enforced a proposal for settlement against a plaintiff following trial in a slip and fall claim where the plaintiff alleged the defendant mall negligently maintained their premises.
• Secured summary judgment in favor of a landlord where the plaintiff brought a premises liability claim alleging personal injuries on a mall’s premises. The court found the landlord owed the plaintiff no duty under Florida law.
- Procured an appellate ruling reversing the trial court’s denial of a motion to compel arbitration brought forth by a third party beneficiary to the controlling contract on the basis that the court erred by finding third parties could not enforce arbitration agreements.
- Obtained a complete dismissal with prejudice against two plaintiffs on the basis that the plaintiffs committed fraud on the court.
