Homicide
Joe believes that the goal of a good litigator is to serve the needs of the client and then develop a comprehensive plan to give them the best chance of achieving the client's goal. Much like the homicide cases Joe worked on in Alaska, Joe starts by having a candid conversation with the client about what the client wants and expects out of the litigation. Joe then develops the evidence by investigating potential witnesses and using modern litigation techniques to analyze the discovery. Joe works with the client to develop themes supported by the evidence, and retains appropriate experts to best express these themes. Armed with this information, he utilizes ADR in an attempt to resolve the case without the time and expense of a jury trial. If ADR does not work, Joe has the experience and skill to try the case before a jury.
Hit and Run
In addition, a previous win for Mike was in the Harris v. Glenn matter. A hit-and-run vehicle accident. Plaintiff asked for $56,000. The jury returned a verdict of $8,000 and awarded zero for pain and suffering or loss of normal life. Defendant prevailed on Plaintiff's post-trial motion for a new trial on the basis the jury's failure to award pain and suffering and loss of normal life was an inconsistent verdict.
