Our client retained our firm when it became clear that he would not be paid on a contract due to an apparent technical error. Our client was facing someone with endless funds for “big time” lawyers who had every intention to bury our client in paperwork and legal fees. At mediation, we declined the judge's recommendation that our client accept $1,000,000.

When our client purchased a piece of exercise equipment from a reputable source, he reasonably anticipated it would function correctly and safely. Unfortunately, its subsequent failure during proper use resulted in serious back and neck injuries. The equipment manufacturer and retailer insisted that it was an operator error. Due to the result of extensive expertise and in-depth investigation, including freedom of information act requests disclosing similar failures, we were able to successfully resolve this for our client.

Our client began negotiations to enter into a business relationship due to his expertise and notoriety in the specific field. Despite having no agreement, and despite multiple misrepresentations and false promises, the defendant began using our client's name and likeness to their advantage. Litigation ensued involving claims of invasion of privacy, use of likeness, and breach of contract. We ultimately obtained a judgment in the amount of $330,000 that is currently being satisfied.

The obvious question arises: How can someone be compensated for falling from a tree? While the answer is straightforward, the legal issues are complex. Certain homeowners want to save a buck when performing necessary maintenance on their property - especially when that maintenance involves property that they are renting out and making a profit. Some of these homeowners hire unlicensed workers to avoid the associated cost of hiring a licensed company. When they do so, however, they are deemed to be the employers of the unlicensed workers, responsible for any and all work-related injuries. Accordingly, when our clients were injured performing tree work for which they were provided no training or safety gear, and which clearly required a license, the homeowners were held legally responsible.
