Wagner
v. Grinnell Housing Development Funds (March 2000) was a
jury trial in Supreme Court, New York County in which we obtained

Company. Here, plaintiff claimed serious personal injuries as
the result of an elevator accident. Following a two-week trial,
the jury determined that our client, who repaired the elevator,
was not responsible for the accident. The other defendants in
the case were found liable and the jury awarded the plaintiff
