Orange County Superior Court (Jury Verdict)
Result: Client avoids Millions & obtains reverse judgment over $400,000

Certified Trial Specialist Gregory G. Brown represented the defendant attorney in this legal malpractice, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty case involving the attorney's representation of his client in a multi-home construction defect case. Mr. Brown tried both the underlying complex construction defect matter as well as the legal malpractice matter. The highly contentious 4 ½ month jury trial was tried before the Honorable Gregory H. Lewis. Mr. Brown successfully defended the eleven cause of action complaints. Plaintiffs sought over $2,000,000 plus punitive damages. There were 5 legal malpractice causes of action, 3 declaratory relief causes of action, 2 breach of contract causes of action, and 1 fiduciary duty cause of action. The complex case involved approximately 110 motions in limine that were argued and ruled on upon over a 3 week period. The jury returned a unanimous decision of 12-0 on 75 of 76 jury verdict questions, netting Brown & Charbonneau, LLP's client a substantial reverse judgment.
