- Defended a homeowner in a real estate non-disclosure case, where the alleged damages exceeded $4 million and the defendant real estate professionals settled out of the case on the eve of trial. Following a bench trial, the Court awarded damages to the plaintiff in an amount less than the amount paid by other defendants in settlement. Pursuant to the terms of the Real Estate Purchase Agreement, the homeowner defendant was deemed to be the prevailing party for purposes of recovering attorney’s fees, expert fees, and costs.
