M&P is thrilled to announce a significant legal victory for our client! In a decision by the Supreme Court of Rhode Island, the court ruled in our client’s favor, marking a monumental win involving a novel issue. The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court’s decision where M&P successfully argued for a Motion to Dismiss in an efficient use of resources for our client.
We are also pleased to announce that the decision was the result of tireless advocacy on behalf of M&P associate, Gabriella Garofalo, who was tasked with arguing her first dispositive motion against a Plaintiff who brought a professional liability claim against M&P’s client. Gabriella argued that under Rhode Island law her client was shielded from liability pursuant to quasi-judicial immunity. The Court agreed with Gabriella granting the Motion to Dismiss and dismissing Plaintiff’s Complaint with prejudice.
Plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court of Rhode Island. Gabriella briefed the matter, again emphasizing the clear protections afforded under the statute. Kurt Rocha argued the matter before Rhode Island’s highest court. The Supreme Court agreed, affirming the judgment of the Supreme Court.
This outcome is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our legal team, and we could not be prouder of the result.
M&P is committed to fighting for our clients' rights and achieving the best possible outcomes in an efficient and aggressive manner.
Stay tuned for more updates and join us in celebrating this incredible achievement!
