At trial level, on Summary Judgment, handled by prior counsel at another law firm, the court entered judgment for $985,000.00 against our client. On appeal, in short order, Steves team brought the issue to the Superior Court where the judgment was reversed and the case was dismissed. Gustaffson v Trigen Energy Corporation, et al. (CCP Philadelphia) In this case involving multiple defendants, Steve represented a security company accused of negligence.
