Practices

  • Obtained jury verdict in a nearly month-long trial wherein our modular building installer client and the building manufacturer sought to recover a delinquent balance from the property owner who asserted “fit and finish,” building code violation and structural defect counterclaims; a 15-person jury rejected all counterclaims and ruled in favor of our client’s breach of contract claim.

  • Prevailed for property owners of a ground-floor commercial condominium in a three-unit mixed-use building after harassment, interference and tortious misconduct by other unit owners; following a two-week trial, the jury found our clients not liable on each count of the counterclaims and awarded our clients damages for lost rent, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.
