A senior executive of a New York-based, international mergers and acquisitions brokerage company was fired by the CEO, and sued the company claiming that he had a contract entitling him to several million dollars and certain percentage ownership interests in all the company’s on-going ventures.  The Firm was hired to defend the case and won a directed verdict for the Client at a Federal Court trial.

A local nurse was referred to the Firm by her personal doctor when she claimed that she had been improperly touched by a physician at the hospital where she worked.  The Firm undertook her representation on a contingency fee basis and filed a lawsuit against the offending physician.  When he denied ever touching the nurse, and refused to make any settlement offer at mediation, the Firm tried the case to a Jury, and the result was a verdict against the doctor for significant compensatory damages and for punitive damages as well.

The Firm sued a university and dean on behalf of a male graduate student who alleged that he had been subjected to same-sex sexual harassment by his university-appointed mentor and advisor, who was also the dean of his area of study.  Court TV covered the case, and, after the commencement of a jury trial, the university and the dean settled the Client’s claim.

A healthcare worker in an Atlanta hospital was demoted and subsequently discharged; she was 57 years of age at the time.  Although it was denied, the Firm obtained testimony that the employee’s supervisor was overheard saying that the employee was “too old to handle the job.”  The suit was settled on the eve of trial for an amount which the defendant hospital insisted be kept confidential as a part of the settlement.
