        The Plaintiff, a pedestrian,
filed suit against a construction company and its employee, alleging
significant injuries and damages in a motor vehicle accident.  The
Plaintiff’s claims, including surgery and nearly 2 years of lost wages, had the
potential to result in significant financial damages.

        Through a meticulous review
of discovery, Tara unearthed a series of inconsistencies in the Plaintiff’s
case, ranging from conflicting statements, impeachable evidence, and challenges
to the Plaintiff’s alleged injuries and damages.  Throughout the trial,
Tara skillfully presented evidence that demonstrated the Defendants were not
liable while deconstructing the Plaintiff’s narrative. After less than 1 hour
of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the
Defendants.  

        This win underscores how a
well-prepared defense, grounded in the law, analytical rigor, and masterful
storytelling, can effectively counter even the most aggressive civil claims.

    Congratulations Tara!
