Two recent jury trial successes! MSP is pleased to recognize Partner Lee Niedrach for two favorable results.
Lee defended a local contractor in a contract dispute brought by a dissatisfied homeowner. Pictures of the completed work and other evidence showed the jury that the contractor not only performed as required, but went above and beyond. The jury rejected the claims and awarded Lee’s client all of its attorneys’ fees.
This result follows a separate jury trial several months earlier, in which Lee successfully defended a homeowner against a neighboring landowner’s contamination claim.
MSP congratulates Lee on these results and his continued success in the courtroom.
We’re pleased to share two recent workers’ compensation resolutions by MSP Partner Rob Monroe, totaling $180,000 for injured workers.
In one case, Rob secured a $100,000 settlement for a an employee of a manufacturing company who tore his quad tendon on the job. Before Rob got involved, the insurer had offered approximately $30,000 to resolve the claim.
In another matter, Rob obtained an $80,000 settlement for a utility worker who injured her knee on the job. She first underwent meniscus surgery and later required a total knee replacement.
