  Significant Representative Matters: Obtained dismissal through Summary Judgment on behalf of a funeral home in a matter involving a claim of mish
  ling of a decedent's remains
  interfering with the rights to a decedent's remains
  intentional infliction of emotional distress. We were able to show that the client's conduct in facilitating the burial of the decedent was not willful, wanton, intentional or malicious
  that the conduct was not outrageous as a matter of law as required to maintain the claims asserted against the funeral home.
  Obtained summary judgment in a negligent procurement of insurance case brought by plaintiffs injured in a motor vehicle accident. Plaintiffs claimed their insurance agent/broker failed to obtain sufficient underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage under an umbrella/excess policy. We demonstrated that the defendants did not breach any applicable st
  ard of care
  that plaintiffs could not establish causation regarding the procurement of the policy in place on the date of the accident.
  Obtained summary judgment in a wrongful death
  negligent security action involving the off premises murder of an employee. The plaintiff's decedent was abducted, stabbed,
  strangled during her lunch break after leaving the workplace parking lot with a man who had been looking for one of her co workers. We demonstrated that the crime was not foreseeable
  that the client owed no duty. The First District Court of Appeal affirmed the order granting summary judgment.
