October 22, 2021 Congrats to Josh Marks, DJ Goldfarb, and Elin Harrington from Berg Hill Greenleaf & Ruscitti, LLP on their defense jury verdict in Federal Court in Denver. This was a case involving a claim for excessive use of force by a police officer. This jury selection commanded an extra, and relatively, new layer of analysis due to politics. But the jury of 7, comprised of 2 teachers, 1 of which was the foreperson, got it right. It was a pleasure to play in role in their success story. And kudos to the jury for their time and service, as well as the Judge and Court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving.
October 8, 2021 Congrats to Eric Buresh and his team from Erise IP, as well as Melissa Smith from Gillam & Smith, LLP on their defense verdict in a patent trial in Marshall, TX on behalf of Sony.

It was a privilege to play a role in this. As always, kudos to the jury for their time and service, and to Judge Gilstrap and his court staff for keeping the wheels of justice moving forward.

It was a privilege to play a role in this success story. And, as always, kudos to the jury for their service.
