Senior Shareholder Mike Stoberski and associate attorney Emily Montgomery obtained a defense verdict after a two week jury trial in a real estate matter where the Plaintiffs were suing their real estate agent and broker alleging that they purchased a top floor penthouse unit in 2009 and paid too much money for the unit. The jury determined that the unit was worth what the Plaintiffs paid for it in 2009 and suffered no damages as a result of any of the conduct of their agent and broker.
