September 13, 2021 Congrats to Peter Prynkiewicz, Shawn Oller, and the entire team from Littler Mendelson, PC as well as Southwest Airlines on their defense verdict in an employment trial in Phoenix, AZ. This case involved claims of gender discrimination and retaliation by a female former employee. Interestingly, this unanimous verdict came from a jury comprised of 6 females and 1 male, demonstrating that demographics such as gender are not entirely predictive in jury selection. It was a privilege to play a role in this success story. And, as always, kudos to the jury for their service.
July 30, 2018 Congrats to John Hanson and Mackenzie Foellmer from Worthe, Hanson & Worthe, PC on their defense verdict in a negligence case involving a deadly airplane crash in LA. The incident was truly an unfortunate tragedy, making this a tough trial due to the latent sympathy dynamic in a plaintiff-friendly venue. Yet these skilled professionals focused the jury and helped them to properly analyze the facts (as opposed to react to) when considering who was at fault. It was both a privilege and a pleasure to play a role in their success story.
October 25, 2015 Congrats to Scott Hagen, Liesel Stevens and the trial team from Ray, Quinney & Nebeker, PC on their defense jury verdict on behalf of FedEx in Salt Lake City. These fine professionals worked diligently to make it easy for this jury to get it right. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be part of their success story.
