Representative Client Work

  • Successfully strategized and argued summary disposition for a condominium association in a premises liability and negligence action arising from an alleged drywall ceiling collapse inside a unit the plaintiff rented from the co-owner while an independent contractor was performing roofing repairs on the building. All claims against the association were dismissed in their entirety when the court found that the association owed no duty to an undisclosed tenant, had no notice of any defect, could not be held liable for the independent contractor's work, and that the statutes relied upon by the plaintiff did not apply.

  • Successfully obtained a security bond order by arguing that the plaintiff could not establish causation in a negligence and premises liability claim. The court required the plaintiff to post $5,000 or face dismissal, and the case was dismissed when the plaintiff failed to do so.

  • Successfully strategized and argued summary disposition for real estate companies and their agents in commercial and residential transactions, which resulted in the dismissal of multiple fraudulent misrepresentation, silent fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty claims

  • Successfully strategized and argued summary disposition for auto insurance carriers by establishing the carriers were entitled to rescind their policies regarding the insureds, and in equity against other claimants and providers, based upon the insureds’ material misrepresentations in procuring the policies, which resulted in the dismissal of several no-fault claims
