i have handled many
00:05
memorable cases in my over 40 years of
00:08
practice
00:09
i have participated in lengthy trials in
00:11
construction cases
00:12
i’ve handled numerous appeals in
00:15
construction cases
00:17
and appeals in both state and federal
00:19
appellate courts
00:20
it’s gratifying to be able to cite a
00:23
published case
00:24
that i have argued and use it
00:27
successfully
00:28
in a subsequent litigation recently
00:31
we were able to assist
00:34
trial counsel or we actually were
00:36
engaged to monitor trial
00:38
counsel in a two-week construction case
00:42
in montgomery county it was a hotly
00:45
contested case
00:47
and we were engaged not only to moderate
00:49
to the case but to
00:51
handle an appeal if that became
00:52
necessary unfortunately
00:55
the trial resulted in a seven million
00:57
dollar judgment against our client
00:59
our firm then went on to take over the
01:02
handling of the case
01:04
we took the case to the court of special
01:05
appeals of maryland
01:07
and then to the court of appeals of
01:08
maryland resulting in the complete
01:10
reversal of that seven million dollar
01:12
verdict against our
01:13
client while at the same time handling
01:16
a complicated legal issue of first
01:19
impression
01:20
that assisted the court of appeals of
01:23
maryland
01:23
in interpreting the uniform contribution
01:26
among tort feasers act
01:28
one other thing i’d like to talk about
01:30
in
01:31
the field of complex construction cases
01:34
is the satisfaction that
01:38
we bring our clients we have many
01:40
construction clients that come back to
01:42
us
01:42
to a system with later matters and one
01:45
in particular
01:46
i am very fond about because as a result
01:50
of a 2002
01:52
construction accident that caused the
01:55
death
01:55
of three people and injuries to others
01:59
i had the privilege of representing a
02:01
general contractor
02:03
and the president of that company who
02:04
was a really stand-up guy
02:06
we negotiated all of those claims
02:10
over a period of about a year and a half
02:12
and settled every one of them
02:14
without any lawsuits being filed we were
02:17
very proud of that outcome
02:18
and that result and my client calls me
02:23
every year for the past 15 years
02:26
on the date of that accident and thanks
02:29
me for saving his company
