Construction Accident

This verdict was obtained after a one week trial in Middlesex County. Our client was installing HVAC units and sustained injuries when he fell through a set of stairs that were not attached properly in a new construction home. He broke his tibia and shattered his knee cap, which required a total knee reconstruction and which will require ultimately a total knee replacement.

Libel and Slander

A judgment was obtained from the Court in the amount of $627,000 against the soon to be ex-wife of a prominent doctor who was the head physician at an emergency room/trauma unit in a local medical center. The doctor’s wife, in an attempt to damage his reputation, as a result of an impending divorce, accused him of sexually abusing their daughter. The Court found the allegations were untrue and that the soon to be ex-wife intentionally made those misrepresentations to his colleagues, partners, friends, and superiors with the knowledge that those allegations were untrue and that the wife knowingly and intentionally made them to damage his reputation.

$569,000

Probate Matter

In this case, there were three brothers who were beneficiaries of their mother’s estate. The oldest brother, who was a half brother to the two younger boys, was named executor of the estate. Raymond tried this case for a week in the Chancery Division, Probate Part of the Superior Court of New Jersey. Raymond proved to the Court that the executor, older brother did not carry out his fiduciary duties to his two younger brother beneficiaries and used a majority of the Estate for his own purposes. The Court entered an award of over $400,000.00 in compensatory damages and over $150,000.00 for attorney’s fees and costs for breach of that fiduciary duty as executor to his younger brothers. The defendant appealed to the Appellate Division and lost on every argument and he then appealed to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which refused to accept his case, therefore upholding the courts verdict.
