Marcin Lambirth, LLP proudly defends many small to large businesses, banks, schools, and school districts in the myriad and tangled claims of misbegotten plaintiffs. Obviously most employment claims aren't worth the paper they are written on. They are brought by disgruntled employees who were probably not doing a very good job in the first place (or on the verge of being terminated) and by plaintiffs' lawyers who should know better.
We would rather advise you how to avoid a lawsuit in the first place than be in one. To that end we draft employment manuals, present training seminars for managers (for our clients that provide us with a free lunch, usually these lunch seminars are free of charge), and will sit with you to advise you how to get rid of a problem employee without getting sued. We also respond to demand letters and EEOC charges, and will assist you with resolving cases short of litigation if that is what you choose.
However, as you can see from this website, we are excellent at defending lawsuits at trial and have both the depth of experience and the employment expertise that allows our clients to be comfortable to not succumb to what in essence is extortion. We have had cases thrown-out early-on in Demurrers/Motions to Dismiss, have had cases won in summary judgment (short of trial), and have won complete defense verdicts before judges and juries.
The following is a representative list of some of the types of employment cases we have defended for businesses (like yours), financial institutions, and schools:
Goldsmith v. Central Reference Laboratories Defense
Our client was a state-certified cytotechnology lab which receives slides from doctors' offices and labs and reviews them for pathogens and indicia of disease, including cancer. Plaintiff a cytologist brought suit alleging breach of contract and claiming hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. Through meticulous research and investigative work to prepare for summary judgment, we presented the work-up that we had drafted to plaintiff who immediately dropped his lawsuit in exchange for a nuisance payment of $5,000.00. Our client was spared having had to defend against the litigation and the case was disposed of in an expedited and financially sensible fashion.
Friend v. Puck (Defense)
A pregnant technician in a dental office claimed that she was assaulted by a dentist in the performance of her duties and as a result she had severe early contractions and gave birth early to a baby that had to spend nearly a week in the intensive care unit. We aggressively represented the dentist and the dental practice against these charges. After having exhaustive investigative work done on the plaintiff, we took a smart and aggressive deposition of the plaintiff, which revealed numerous inconsistencies in the allegations. After the deposition transcript was prepared and reviewed by counsel, plaintiff agreed to drop the lawsuit for no payment of any kind.
Neavill v. California School for Liberal Studies
We successfully defended a school against a teacher who brought disability discrimination, wrongful termination, and other claims. The school brought a summary judgment motion which was granted by the trial court.
