Employment Dispute

Employee (Plaintiff) was President of a Company (the Defendant). Defendant terminated Plaintiff after an eight-year tenure. In Plaintiff’s second year of his tenure, Defendant issued to Plaintiff shares of stock in the Company via a stock certificate as recognition for Plaintiff’s significant contributions to the Company’s growth in a private surprise ceremony of just Defendant’s CEO, Plaintiff, and Plaintiff’s spouse. The stock certificate was post-dated and had an invalid certificate identification number.

Defendant issued Plaintiff shares despite Plaintiff’s failure to meet the required revenue milestones to be entitled to ownership interest. Defendant never issued Plaintiff a K-1 tax form in the years to follow. Plaintiff never asked to be issued a K-1 tax form. Defendant never issued Plaintiff distributions. Plaintiff never asked to receive distributions. Defendant submitted various government certification documents in the years following the issuance of the stock certificate and Plaintiff was never listed as an owner. Plaintiff signed the same government certification documents. Defendant never recorded issuance of Plaintiff’s shares of stock on Defendant’s stock ledger.

Upon being terminated, Plaintiff asked to be compensated for the stock certificate. Plaintiff still had the original in his possession. Defendant refused to compensate Plaintiff. Defendant took the position the stock certificate was unenforceable and declined to negotiate. Plaintiff filed suit for breach of contract.

Defendant denied all material allegations and filed counterclaims alleging breach of fiduciary duties and violations of Plaintiff’s non-compete provision contained in his employment agreement with Defendant. The basis of Defendant’s counterclaims were allegations that Plaintiff purposefully bound Defendant to financial obligations Plaintiff knew were above-market-value, Plaintiff started a business that began competing with Defendant before his employment ended, and Plaintiff continued competing with Defendant after being terminated.

After months of hard-fought litigation, Defendant agreed to pay Plaintiff $185,000 and agreed to waive the remainder of Plaintiff’s non-compete prevision, allowing Plaintiff to resume his business.

Home Construction Settlement

Homeowners hired a contractor to construct an addition on their home. Relying on the Contractor’s online reviews and representations regarding timeline, homeowners delivered a significant deposit.

After taking the money, the contractor failed to perform any significant work. After 90 days of delay, homeowners terminated the contract. The contractor refused to return the unearned portion of the significant deposit. This refusal prompted a detailed investigation, which demonstrated the Contractor’s online reviews, in part, were fabricated.

The lawsuit contained allegations of breach of contract, fraud, and violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. After litigating up to the eve of trial, the Contractor agreed to settle for close to three times the withheld deposit.

Dental Malpractice Settlement

2025. Our client previously received radiation to the head and neck as treatment for throat cancer. Years later, he underwent dental extractions and placement of implants.

During the dental procedure and follow‑up, he developed serious complications, including implant failure and exposed jawbone. He was ultimately diagnosed with osteoradionecrosis and required multiple surgeries, including removal of dead jawbone and reconstruction.

The lawsuit alleged that the treating dentist should have recognized the increased risk from the prior radiation and taken additional precautions, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy, before proceeding. The defendant disputed both the standard of care and whether any different treatment would have changed the outcome.

After extensive discovery and expert review, the case was resolved at mediation for a $1,800,000 settlement, which included compensation for significant past medical expenses and future care needs.
