Wrongful Death
Scuba Liability Defense: Successfully defended scuba instructors, shops, and various national certifying associations in Washington and Oregon courts for over 10 years against 7 figure claims for negligence and wrongful death. Two of Chris’s clients’ defense verdicts were upheld on appeal, creating new law in both states favorable to the scuba industry.
Fraud
Commercial Real Estate: Represented a long-time client who was the purchaser in a complex real estate fraud/breach of contract matter involving a Section 1031 acquisition of a commercial office complex. The case took over 5 years to resolve, first within the JAMS arbitration system where our client prevailed after a 10-day hearing with a 7-figure award, and later in California state court to confirm and defend the award from challenges by the defendants. The case was ultimately settled before judgment was entered in the state court action. Chris’s client was awarded substantial damages, costs, and attorney’s fees.
