• When a Cleveland area apartment owner experienced a fire which resulted in the death of a tenant whose family hired the vaunted Johnny Cochran to pursue a wrongful death claim, the Cleveland trial lawyers at Rubin Guttman & Associates was brought in to insure the case was resolved at no cost to the owner and without any publicity.
• When a large Cleveland real estate developer discovered that a whole group of homes had been defectively built by an errant subcontractor, Rubin Guttman & Associates were brought in to quickly and quietly investigate what happened. We put together a crisis management team to provide unit owners with a quick resolution, even as staff was trained to deal with the possibility that media reporters might “ambush” them with embarrassing questions. The whole process was managed in a way that minimized the client’s exposure and got the homes repaired without media involvement or damage to the developer’s reputation.
• When a transportation company faced a claim well in excess of its $1 million insurance coverage, we represented the company against its own insurance carrier to make sure that the transportation company was insured against any uninsured exposure.
• When an Ohio condominium developer found itself being sued over a series of collapsing roadways, the Cleveland business litigation attorneys at Rubin Guttman & Associates brought in engineers, soil experts and others and successfully proved that a sub-contractor had fraudulently failed to provide premium backfill, despite documentation to the contrary. The result; litigation which compelled the sub-contractor to pay for re-doing the collapsed roadway junctions at the contractor’s expense, with full indemnification of our client for all costs.
