Tom Merrick and Dave Cottnair recently convinced a general contractor to voluntarily dismiss its claims against our client, a subcontractor. This complex condominium construction defect lawsuit involved 14 parties and an estimated repair cost in excess of $5,000,000. Through early contact with counsel for the general contractor, Dave explained why none of the alleged defects were the responsibility of our client. With the help of our client, we obtained a statement from the Deputy Fire Marshall which further supported our client’s defenses. Ultimately, our client was dismissed before any depositions were taken.
