  neck injuries to a retired Pro Bowl football player from the former Los Angeles Rams. The plaintiff had back surgery. The case resulted from a rear-end auto accident, in which liability was admitted. The defense was based on the lack of credibility of the plaintiff, who claimed that he had never had back or neck problems before. The jury awarded the plaintiff economic damages for his past medical expenses
  lost earnings in the amount of $159, 362, but because of the lack of credibility, the jury did not award any noneconomic damages for pain
  suffering.
  Represented a transport company which was claimed to have intentionally mish
  led human remains that had been donated to a state university. It was alleged that this was done for profit, by selling body parts illegally. After over a week of trial, the plaintiffs accepted a settlement from the defendant that was less than the offer made before the start of trial.
  Very favorable settlement of personal injury claim against a popular racetrack was obtained after the jury submitted questions during deliberations suggesting that a defense verdict was likely.
