H.G. v. S.O.
May 16, 2019OUTCOME: TRO dismissed
Alleged victim filed a temporary restraining order (TRO) as well as a criminal complaint against my client. TRO and criminal complaint were both fourth degree criminal sexual contact, false imprisonmen ... t, and harassment. Victim alleged that on March 31, 2019, her and her ex-boyfriend (my client) met up for lunch. There she decided to to completely end their relationship. She agreed to go to his car to talk with him. Once in his car, he began touching her breast and ksiing her without her consent. When she tried to leave, he locked the doors and grabbed her arm. He then proceeded to drive around the parking lot not allowing her to leave his car. He stopped and finally broke free and ran away. The next day my client emailed her almost dozen times. At trial, among many inconsistencies that I crossed said victim on, I got the victim to admit via text messages that on March 26, 2019 she met up with my client at a hotel near her house, which she paid for said hotel room, and they had consensual intercourse three (3) times. I then impeached her on her interview with the police wherein she told the police that March 31st wasn't the first time that my client touched her without her permission and that on March 26 they met up at a hotel room and he began touching her without her permission. The Court found that her statements to police were "untruthful".

At trial, the only issue really to decide was whether the plaintiff sustained a permanent injury to her neck, specifically a right sided herniation, as result of this accident. I cross-examined and ... impeached the plaintiff on inconsistency between her testimony that her car was towed to a gas station/service station whereas at her deposition she testified that her husband brought her car home.

Our doctor conceded that he found a herniation in her neck.
J.F. v. E.K.
N/AOUTCOME: Win; judge dismissed the temporary restraining order when she found that the plaintiff/victim did not meet her burden by a preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not) that the defendant assaulted her.
Plaintiff/victim testified that in the early morning hours she allegedly received missed calls and a text message from the defendant. When she called the defendant back she was allegedly informed by hi ... m that their baby was having trouble breathing and to meet them at the hospital. Shortly thereafter, defendant allegedly called back telling her to meet him at her house since she had the medical documents. At this point, the plaintiff/victim became concerned and called her friend and asked her to stay on the phone with her. When the defendant allegedly arrived at her house, he immediately began accusing her of being a liar and threw her to the ground more than once and grabbed her by the hair and pulled her from the driveway to the front steps. During this alleged altercation he supposedly punched her three times on the back of the head. She supposedly had a big lump and a small lump on the back of her head due to the alleged altercation. Plaintiff/victim further testified that she went to the police to report this alleged altercation and thereafter that same day she went to urgent care wherein the doctor's report diagnosed her with a contusion on the back of the head. Lastly, she testified that this supposedly wasn't the first time defendant abused her and testified to a prior occasion of abuse. The plaintiff/victim's friend corroborated her story by testifying that she was on the phone with her during this alleged altercation and heard the defendant yelling at her, and also heard plaintiff/victim screaming before the phone hung up. She then immediately called the police. She further testified that when she saw the plaintiff/victim a short time later, the plaintiff/victim allegedly had pieces of her hair falling out, and also felt the big lump and small lump on the back of her head. Cross-examined the plaintiff/victim on the following inconsistencies: First, she testified that she had a big lump and a small on the back of her head as a result of the alleged altercation, however, the doctor's report noted that she denied any swelling on the back of her head as well as the doctor's physical examination found no swelling nor bruising on the back of her head. Second, plaintiff/victim testified and wrote in her witness statement that the defendant called her at a certain time, but the doctor's report noted a different time. Third, she testified that she was allegedly confronted by the defendant in the driveway as she was walking to her car, but the doctor's report noted that defendant allegedly confronted her as she walking towards her house. Lastly, she testified that her hair was pulled from the driveway to the house but her witness statement did not contain that detail. Cross-examined the plaintiff/victim's friend on inconsistencies regarding when her and the plaintiff/victim arrived at the police station.

Once at the hospital the doctors suggested he stay overnight for observations but had to get home to his kids. About a month later he started receiving treatment for this accident. Plaintiff also testified about his limitations, which included his limitations at work and with his kids. During my cross-examination I impeached the plaintiff which were the following; Plaintiff's medical records noted that he began treatment 14 months later, not one or two months. Plaintiff testified that he never injured his back nor knee before this accident, but testified at his deposition that he did injure his back and knee before this accident.
