Sheri Thome (Partner-Las Vegas) and Michael Stoberski (Of Counsel-Las Vegas) secured a defense verdict in the Clark County District Court on behalf of a local attorney and law firm. The plaintiff, a client of the firm, brought a legal malpractice lawsuit alleging that the firm’s failure to advise her in an area outside of its scope of practice resulted in her exposure to criminal charges and various damages. Following the two-week jury trial, the jury returned a unanimous defense verdict after one hour of deliberation, quashing a demand at trial for $2 million.
