High Value Personal Injury Settlement: Justice For A Family
In 2022, James Dighero Law represented the family of the Martins after a horrific car accident left their youngest son catastrophically injured and unable to walk or communicate. At first, the insurance company offered a settlement only enough to pay for medical bills-not even enough for the years of future medical attention and therapies their son would need. Our attorneys knew this offer failed to take into account the full extent of the child’s injuries, so we relentlessly investigated the circumstances of the accident, retained top accident reconstruction experts, and carefully documented the family’s future needs. Through tough negotiations-and ultimately by filing and threatening to move forward with a lawsuit-we earned them a $2.1 million settlement-over four times more than what was initially offered by the insurance company. The Martins won access to the best medical teams, therapies, and surgeries they could find-creating a brighter future for their youngest child-and proving our mantra that unyielding advocacy for those who have suffered is everything.
Intricate Business Litigation Settled: Safeguarding a Businessman’s Vision
When a rapidly-growing, venture-backed technology company ended up embroiled in a high-stakes breach of contract dispute with a former business partner, James Dighero Law was engaged to safeguard our client’s investment. From complex intellectual property issues to the potential for substantial financial damages, we were able to quickly deploy a unique multi-disciplinary approach that blended business litigation and IP resources. By methodically assessing the contractual obligations of all parties, followed by zealous and skillful advocacy in the courtroom, we were able to defeat the opposing parties’ claims. The court’s judgment not only preserved our client’s foundational technology but also afforded reimbursement of legal fees. Upon prevailing, the company’s CEO credited our firm with affording his team the freedom to innovate, stating: “James Dighero Law gave us our future back.”
Family Law Victory: Protecting a Child’s Best Interests
Family law proceedings require both knowledge of the law as well as compassion. For a 2023 case, we were retained by the mother of a young daughter, who was seeking sole custody in response to the other parent’s alleged neglect. Comprehensive medical records, testimony from teachers and other professionals, in addition to psychological assessments, were obtained. Through zealous negotiation, our team was able to secure a settlement which gave our client primary residential custody and ensured that the child could live in a safe, nurturing environment. The presiding judge remarked that the work performed by our team was both extremely thorough and compassionate for all parties involved and noted the critical importance of advocating in a manner that always considers the best interests of the children first. This is a case in which we blended competent legal work with compassionate advocacy to achieve an optimal outcome for our client and her family. Our holistic approach sets us apart as we are fully attuned to how family law issues affect our clients personally.
Intellectual Property Protection: Defending Against Theft of Innovation
A national design firm asked us to represent them when a competitor illegally replicated a proprietary architectural set of drawings and used them in one of the largest real estate developments for their client. Acknowledging the client’s intellectual property was the cornerstone of their firm’s business structure, James Dighero Law began an aggressive response effort. We put an immediate cease and desist process into action to stop further infringement, and when that failed we filed a federal lawsuit. Our attorneys clearly laid out the evidence of copyright infringement and negotiated a settlement which included substantive damages awards and a public concession to our client. The impact of this win not only safeguarded the design firm’s creative work but also set case law precedent within their industry, adding to our reputation as a bulwark for creativity.
Employment Law Success: Challenging An Unlawful Termination
In this employment law first, James Dighero Law represented a high-level executive who was fired in retaliation for making a protected “whistleblower” report. The plaintiff’s allegation implicated a multinational company with tremendous resources and substantial attorneys’ fees. Our team painstakingly itemized evidence of the employer’s retaliation and procedural misconduct. We commenced suit alleging wrongful termination and violation of federal law protecting whistleblowers. Months later, in the midst of intense litigation, the employer agreed to a confidential settlement that included reinstatement and lost wages, as well as organizational reforms to avoid future claims. This matter proves our mettle on behalf of employees and our commitment to holding employers accountable, regardless of the size or influence of the defendant.
Successful Real Estate Case: Saving a Family’s Home
When the Johnsons found themselves facing foreclosure due to a mortgage servicing error, they feared that they would lose the home in which they had built so many memories for the last 20 years. That’s when James Dighero Law sprung into action and discovered a scheme of careless administration and improper documentation by the lender. Our attorneys filed a motion to stop the foreclosure and negotiated fiercely with the law firm for the bank. We were eventually able to obtain a loan modification that permitted the Johnsons to keep the home as well as damages for emotional distress. This case exemplifies our commitment to fighting zealously for our clients and our talent for identifying complex issues in real estate disputes and remedying them with compassion and determination.
