  Representative Matters: Defending a medical services provider sued for trade name infringement.
  Representing a pool equipment manufacturer whose product configuration allegedly infringed the plaintiff's claimed trade dress.
  Defending a jewelry distributor for allegedly infringing a jewelry designer's copyright.
  Representing a retailer that allegedly misappropriated an Olympic athlete's right of publicity by using the athlete's photograph in advertising.
  Obtained summary judgment
  avoided a jury trial on behalf of an insurance carrier after the plaintiff, a gym owner
  fitness trainer, sued the carrier for bad faith based on its alleged failure to obtain a settlement that protected her from continuing litigation
  harassment by her neighbor that resulted in the trainer having to ab
  on her gym. Though our client was sympathetic to the insured, we won the case by producing a clear, objective analysis of the pertinent policy provisions
  applicable legal principles.
  Secured the client's removal from a case before the court ruled on our motion for summary judgment when the plaintiff agreed to dismiss our client from charges that natural
  artificial stone products
  related materials manufactured
  distributed by numerous companies, including our distributor client, caused his incurable lung disease. In exchange, our client signed a waiver of costs.
