Criminal Law

Wrongful Death
Representation of Design Engineer on redecking project of a major suspension bridge in wrongful death action by construction worker. Obtained summary judgment dismissing engineer from case.
Fraud
Barry began his career as a judicial law clerk to a United States District Court Judge. He then served as senior trial attorney in the National Office of the Chief Counselâ€™s Office of the Internal Revenue Service (â€œIRSâ€ ). When there, he represented the IRS Commissioner in many court cases. His representation included highly visible matters such as enforcement of the nondiscrimination policy for tax-exempt schools and tax fraud cases. This experience has been a great benefit in representing clients before the Appeals Office of the IRS and in the United States Tax Court, District Courts and Court of Federal Claims.
Embezzlement
Fineman Krekstein & Harris attorneys successfully represented a bank against claims from a customer that embezzlement by the customer’s employee should have been detected by the bank.
Homicide
Manslaughter
Represented an insurance carrier that was sued for breach of contract and bad faith arising out of the insurerâ€™s denial of coverage for a civil law suit in which the insured allegedly accidently killed the decedent.Â The insured pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter admitting that he had an imperfect claim of self-defense, when he struck the decedent with a loaded pistol that accidently discharged, killing the decedent.Â Agreeing with our interpretation of the criminal acts exclusion in the insurance policy, the court found that the insurer acted properly in denying coverage because it was the criminal nature of the act, not the degree of criminal culpability, which triggered the applicability of the exclusion.

Employment Law

Wrongful Termination
Represented an employer in a private industry arbitration that went on over the course of a year and was successful in defeating the employeeâ€™s wrongful termination and lost income claims.Â The employee argued that he was owed compensation based upon a securities trading formula, and the employer denied applicability of that formula. The industry arbitration panel ruled that no compensation was due.
Employment Discrimination
Represented a local oil company in a race discrimination claim, filed in a Pennsylvania Federal Court, by an employee, following a work-related infraction.Â Citing lighter penalties imposed on non-minority employees who committed similar infractions, the plaintiff, an African American male, claimed that he was terminated from his job because of his race.Â The defense proved, however, that the plaintiffâ€™s history of work related infractions was more extensive than any of the other employees who had committed similar offenses and that the plaintiff was terminated because of his inability to perform his job properly, not due to his race.Â After a bench trial, the court ruled in favor of the oil company.

Won summary judgment on behalf of a car rental company in a personal injury action where the plaintiff alleged that he was struck by a vehicle owned by car rental company while crossing the street.Â Plaintiff claimed the vehicle fled the scene following the accident.Â The defense successfully argued that Plaintiff failed to produce sufficient evidence to show that the vehicle involved in the accident was owned by the car rental company since Plaintiff was not able to recall the license plate number nor any other identifying information.
