Waranch & Brown’s Managing Partner, Christina N. Billiet, and Partner Michelle Dian share some of the challenges they faced, along with the strategies that led to a hard-fought defense victory at trial.
In particular, the sympathy factor for two young boys – each born with a serious genetic disorder – could have overwhelmed the jury. Tina and Michelle worked hard to moderate the jury’s emotions and presented impressive expert testimony, including testimony by a genetics expert after whom the genetic disorder was named.
Obtaining a unanimous defense verdict in this case after just 30 minutes of jury deliberation gave our obstetrician client some well-deserved comfort in the quality of her care.
