The jury returned a verdict in favor of John’s client, concluding that it was not negligent and its guard was not defectively designed. The plaintiff’s last demand was $1.7 million. John defended a school for autistic children in a difficult seven-week jury trial in Massachusetts state court in 2006.
John and his colleague, Heather Gamache successfully defended an upscale South Shore restaurant in U.S. District Court.
