Served as second chair counsel defending a police officer against a claim alleging excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The trial resulted in a no cause of action for the client.

Obtained Summary Judgement in favor of a county prosecutor accused of civil RICO conspiracy and malicious prosecution. The case was dismissed based on arguments regarding absolute prosecutorial immunity and qualified immunity.

Served as first chair counsel to a historic hotel in a premises liability matter, obtaining an advantageous evidentiary ruling on the first day of jury trial that ended in a favorable settlement for the client.

Obtained Summary Disposition in a claim against an emergency medicine physician, alleged to have failed to properly evaluate and treat a patient with a hypertensive crisis. The case was dismissed on the basis that there was no breach of the standard of care and Plaintiff failed to establish proximate causation.

Served as second chair counsel defending a general surgeon against a claim alleging the surgeon failed to place a NG tube in a patient with a suspected small bowel obstruction. The trial resulted in a no cause of action for the client.

Obtained Summary Judgement in favor of a municipal client against claims alleging that the city’s rental inspection ordinance required warrantless searches in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and in violation of the Plaintiff’s due process rights. Plaintiff filed the case as a class action matter. The case was dismissed based on arguments that the Plaintiffs lacked standing to assert a Fourth Amendment claim and lacked Article III standing because they did not have cognizable injury. The Court further held that the city did not violate the Plaintiff’s due process rights.

Served as second chair counsel defending a general surgeon alleged to have failed to identify an intraoperative bowel injury resulting in postoperative infection. The trial resulted in a no cause of action for the client.

Defended a taxi company and driver in a third party automobile negligence case. After a briefing and oral arguments of a Motion for Summary Judgement, the court granted the Motion because Plaintiff failed to establish serious impairment affecting the general ability to lead a normal life. The Court’s decision was subsequently upheld by the Michigan Court of Appeals.

Obtained Summary Disposition in a claim against an obstetrician, alleged to have inappropriately recommended a medication, resulting in the Plaintiff’s miscarriage. The case was dismissed on the basis that the Plaintiff failed to establish proximate causation.
