Mr. Groome handled the defense of a personal injury case when a client's truck trailer clipped the back of a vehicle. Two plaintiffs received medical treatment for eight months, and one alleged continued physical impairment. An aggressive motion practice and attention to detail led not only to the client defendant paying no money to settle this matter, but also to the Court sanctioning both plaintiffs and their attorney. Both plaintiffs subsequently dismissed their suit with prejudice in exchange for defendants not pursuing the money judgment against them. The plaintiff's attorney who had withdrawn and filed an intervention in the suit paid his share of the judgment to the client in order to bring the entire misadventure to an end.
