I successfully argued this case before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio preserving judgment in favor of our client, a County Sheriff's Department. The issue was whether a Sheriff's ... deputy's interview and search of an employee of Honda suspected of vandalism on the job was constitutional or whether it was an illegal search and seizure. It was not and the deputy was vindicated.
