OUTCOME: Ms. Ellwein's clients prevailed at trial and on appeal.
Obtained trial judgment and appellate victory in favor of clients, whose real estate broker misrepresented the square footage and potential for subdivision of a parcel. The reported appellate decision ... confirmed the imposition of the “benefit of the bargain” measure of damages against the defendant real estate broker, and that damages may be calculated by the date of discovery rather than the date of the transaction.
