Sandi Holleran Joining O’Hagan Spencer

cspencer — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:03:35 +0000

Sandi Holleran, 16 years at the bar, is leaving Rawles McNelis to join O’Hagan Spencer’s Richmond office. Sandi’s extraordinary talent, work ethic and professionalism caught Chris Spencer’s attention when she was a summer associate and then associate at McGuireWoods, where Chris was a partner. They have followed one another’s careers over the years, and at last the timing was right.

Fresh from getting her clients out of one of the nastiest, most notorious med mal cases in Virginia history, Sandi will keep working her med mal magic while taking charge of a number of other cases and a number of litigation-management/avoidance projects.

Sandi joins us officially on April 30.

Defense Verdict for Major Retailer

kmccarthy — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 16:54:33 +0000

On November 15th, 2011, a federal jury in Chicago returned a defense verdict in a case tried by Jim Balog and Jennifer Reddien. The trial involved a trip and fall in a south suburban store parking lot. The 69 year old plaintiff alleged that the Retailer was negligent for failing to repair a pothole before the accident. The plaintiff claimed that, as a result of her fall, she tore her right rotator cuff and aggravated her osteoarthritic right knee, an injury that she claimed would require her to need a total knee replacement. She asked the jury for $750,000.00 in compensatory damages and enough punitive damages to send a message to the Retailer’s corporate headquarters.

The jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant Retailer.
