$3,250,000 Settlement

​

The Law Offices of Mark S. Bishop, LLC settled a wrongful death car accident case on behalf of an 84 year-old father for a firm record $3,250,000.00 three weeks before the jury trial was set to begin.  Our firm was able to overcome legal defenses asserted by the diabetic driver who claimed an unforseen episode of hypoglycemia caused the accident and his employer's claim that he was not acting within the scope of his employment when he caused the accident.  The judge ruled in our favor on our motions for summary judgment defeating these defenses so the Defendants were not going to be able to assert those defenses at trial.  The case settled within weeks of the Judge's ruling.   If you are an attorney looking to refer a significant case to experienced counsel, give us a call.   If you are a client looking for trusted counsel in a serious injury matter or an accident that caused someone's death, contact us to find out what we can offer as your personal injury attorney.

When our Client's tenants breached their lease after a water pipe froze without giving our Client a reasonable time to repair the pipe, we were retained to pursue the rent that the tenants refused to pay.  An arbitration panel initially ruled against our Client but despite this setback, our Client stood by our recommendations on the merits of his claim.  We rejected the arbitrators' award and pursued the claim to a bench trial in state court where we prevailed.  We obtined a judgment for our Client for the full amount of the unpaid rent and obtained an award of attorney's fees and costs.  We provide all of our Clients with a considered legal analysis of their issues and that evaluation often proves instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for our Clients - even if we have to go the distance to achieve that success.  If you are a commercial management company, a residential landlord, or a small-business owner looking for tailored legal advice you can depend on, contact the Law Offices of Mark S.
