Pettit Kohn Ingrassia Lutz & Dolin Successfully Defends a Malicious Prosecution Claim at Pre-Trial
Pettit Kohn Ingrassia Lutz & Dolin Shareholder, Douglas A. Pettit, and his team recently obtained a successful outcome during pre-trial motions in defending a malicious prosecution claim for their client against Citizens of Humanity, a prominent apparel company. This trial had been pending for the past six years with the latest demand of $3.6 million at pre-trial.
After selecting a jury in San Diego Superior Court, and skillfully presenting a day’s worth of evidence, the Judge held a hearing on probable cause and found in favor of Pettit’s client ending the trial. Factoring in the significant risk entering trial, the client was incredibly pleased by the outcome.
