Plaintiff claimed she was sexually harassed, but employer received summary judgment on Ellerth defense because employee did not comply with the company’s written policy for making a sexual harassment claim.

Premises Liability
MRV takes pride in its vast premises liability practice, having extensive experience representing clients in both commercial and residential premises-based liability actions. In our commercial premises liability practice, we have successfully defended national retailers, shopping mall owners and management companies, grocery store chains, fuel stations, hotels, restaurants, recreational and amusement properties, child care centers and other local business proprietors. These matters have involved such issues as slip-and-falls and trip-and-falls, to allegations of malicious prosecution, false arrest, failure in security measures, liquor liability, and defects/ hazards in and around the commercial premises. MRV takes pride in its aggressive defense of these premises liability actions, namely our dispositive motion posturing from the onset of the litigation, our thoroughness through the discovery process, and our preparedness for trial of these matters.
Construction Litigation
Defended one of the nation’s largest residential/commercial lessors of housing units in connection with a mold remediation claims issue and with complaints in units due to alleged construction defects. Retention of experts with numerous areas of specialty resulted in dispositive motions defeating the plaintiffs’ claims and protecting a large self-insured retention involving corollary coverage-related issues.

His duties as a real estate attorney include the preparation and issuance of title insurance policies on behalf of his clients through Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Inc., a bar related title insurance company.

Ms. DeFalco currently practices in the area of medical malpractice defense, which includes representing physicians, nurses, medical practices and nursing homes in a wide variety of medical negligence matters. She has participated in the defense of healthcare providers in over 20 jury trials throughout Cook County and DuPage County, as well as in the collar counties and downstate. She regularly speaks to healthcare providers on issues concerning medical negligence matters.

Disability Discrimination
Obtained a not guilty verdict in a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff alleged racial and disability discrimination against a suburban municipality. Defense argued the plaintiff was unable to perform the physically demanding job, which was a bona fide basis for discharge. The jury agreed.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
In addition to estate planning services, MRV also provides a broad range of estate administration services, including the probate of wills, the administration of trusts, and the preparation and filing of federal estate tax returns, state inheritance tax returns, and state and federal income tax returns for both estates and trusts. The estates administered by MRV range in size from the relatively simple and modest, containing only an asset or two, to the very large and complex, with assets ranging in value up to $20 million.
Wills
MRV’s estate planning attorneys are well versed in the federal estate tax laws, state inheritance tax laws, and state and federal income tax laws applicable to trusts and estates. Many of the wills and trusts that we draft are designed to minimize or eliminate these taxes. Other wills and trusts are designed to provide financial management services for minor children, disabled adults, or other beneficiaries whom our clients believe to be temporarily or permanently incapable of managing their own financial assets.
Trusts
For those of our clients who wish to leave part or all of their estates to mentally or physically disabled beneficiaries, we often draft trusts known as “special needs” trusts. A special needs trust is designed to provide financial assistance to a disabled beneficiary without jeopardizing that beneficiary’s eligibility for benefits under various “need-based” governmental assistance programs, such as Medicaid and/or Social Security.
Power of Attorney
Mr. Rehfeldt has also practiced for many years in the areas of probate, estate planning, and federal income taxation. His estate planning practice includes the preparation of wills, revocable and irrevocable living trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, powers of attorney, and living wills.
