Experience

• Ongoing – Representing a vendor in a premises-liability action arising from an alleged injury at a large sports and entertainment venue, involving claims concerning crowd management and an allegedly unsecured barricade.

• Ongoing – Representing a community college district and youth sports organizations in a premises-liability action involving a significant fall and disputed neurological injuries. The defense includes development of deposition and trial strategy concerning the circumstances of the incident, contemporaneous witness statements, the plaintiff’s pre-incident condition, and competing medical-causation theories regarding alleged cognitive decline 
• Ongoing – Representing defendants in a complex California real property dispute involving property damage and construction-defect issues, amended pleadings, cross-claims, extensive discovery proceedings, and pretrial strategy in Los Angeles Superior Court. The matter has also involved discovery stipulations and protective-order proceedings and remains on the trial track.
• Ongoing – Defending an employer and employee in an automobile-liability action involving disputed accident mechanics, bodily-injury and orthopedic claims, and causation. Work has included analysis of the plaintiff's written discovery responses, pre-existing orthopedic history and disability, claimed damages, and factual discrepancies concerning traffic-control conditions at the accident location. 
• Ongoing – Assisting with an urgent California construction-defect matter involving an insured in default and potential insurer intervention to prevent entry of a multimillion-dollar default judgment. Work has included developing an ex parte intervention strategy, researching California insurer intervention authority, analyzing the plaintiff's default-judgment package, and preparing for an answer in intervention and potential relief from default.
