San Diego, Calif. (September 22, 2025) - San Diego Associate Paola Perkins recently obtained summary judgment for the firm's client in a slip and fall lawsuit involving a public sidewalk adjacent to the client's property.

After months of requesting plaintiff's counsel to dismiss our client from the lawsuit, San Diego Superior Court Judge Cynthia Freeland granted our client’s motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff’s counsel believed he would obtain a $1 million verdict against our client.

After reviewing all the evidence, including the plaintiff’s deposition and discovery from all parties, it was clear the plaintiff had zero evidence against our client. There was no genuine dispute as to any material fact and Judge Freeland held that our client was entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
