Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) and Ashley Zurkan (Associate-Las Vegas, NV) worked with a luxury homeowners’ association client to develop facts that led to a voluntary dismissal. A mobile dog groomer tripped on a sidewalk near a home, and it was initially unclear who controlled this part of the sidewalk. Michael and Ashley worked with the homeowners' association to begin developing facts supporting the HOA's position that the individual homeowner controlled this area. They then worked with the plaintiff to confirm repairs had occurred in the area and the homeowner paid for the repairs. With control confirmed, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the HOA and instead pursued the homeowner. This collaborative approach ultimately saved the parties time and money.
