OUTCOME: Over 90 percent recovery made for the surviving spouse with 10 percent distribution to the biological adult children of the decedent.
The spouse died in an accident and a recovery was made in the wrongful death litigation. I was hired to represent the surviving spouse in a dependency case battle over the funds between the estranged ... offspring of the decedent and the step-mother of the adult children.
OUTCOME: Dismissal of the case.
I represented a motorist who was alleged to have grazed a cyclist knocking the cyclist down as the motorist made a right turn at a red traffic light. On the first court date I arranged a continuance t ... o gather evidence and prepare the case for a plea and possible trial. The witness was present on the first court date. I took special note that the witness was a teenager in school and therefore I selected Valentine's Day as the next court date to answer ready for trial with the possibility that Valentine's Day would factor more highly for the teenage witness than appearing in court. The next court date came up on Valentine's Day and the result for my client did not disappoint. The witness was a no show and I had the ticket dismissed. Whether Valentine's Day had anything to do with the result is not for certain, but my client was thoroughly satisfied with the result as I advised him that I take every available advantage I can get and use a creative approach to obtaining favorable outcomes.
