Business Defense

This was a matter brought in the Prince George’s County, Circuit Court. We Defended a construction company, a sub-contractor, a Co-Defendant, on a sexual harassment and retaliation case. We represented the company from the EEOC stage through the close of discovery. After discovery, and several Motions for Sanctions were filed, about a week before Summary Judgment, the case was dismissed.

Another jury trial win defending the company on sexual harassment and gender discrimination charges. In a four and a half day grueling jury trial, the plaintiff alleged that the Ergo Solutions C.E.O. had created a hostile work environment, made numerous unwanted propositions her for sexual activity, sent unwanted, lewd sexual pictures and that Ergo terminated her job after her refusals. The plaintiff sued the company and the C.E.O. individually. After an hour and a half of deliberations, the jury returned a DEFENDANTS’ VERDICT.

We represented the DEFENDANT, Ergo Solutions, Inc., against a former employee who asserted a retaliation claim for filing an EEOC charge and subsequently having her telework removed. After three years of litigation, we obtained a DEFENDANT’S VERDICT, at the close of a three-day jury trial in Washington, DC. The jury found for our client in that Ergo Solutions, Inc. had valid reasons for removing the employee’s telework, completely unrelated to her EEOC claims.

Outcome: Defendant’s Verdict – We represented the Defendant.

I’m a big believer in giving back to my local community. Goldberg’s Bagels has been a staple of the Silver Spring, MD, business community for many years. We defended the bagel shop from an employee overtime claim that could have cost the bagel shop tens of thousands of dollars. U.S. District Court Judge, George J. Hazel, dismissed the plaintiff’s claims on Summary Judgment. It was an honor to be retained by Goldberg’s Bagels.
