Senior Associate Edoardo “Eddy” Maffia Obtains Pre-Answer Discontinuance on behalf of BMM Client in Labor Law Case.

Senior Associate Edoardo “Eddy” Maffia obtained a pre-answer discontinuance on behalf of our client in a Labor Law case in which the Plaintiff allegedly sustained serious injuries from a construction site. This matter was resolved within just 7 days of assignment.

Eddy was able to establish to the Plaintiff’s counsel that our client had neither retained the Plaintiff’s employer nor had performed work on the floor where the alleged accident occurred. This cost-efficient result would not have been possible without early intervention, aggressive file handling and close collaboration with the client, which are hallmarks of the Firm. In fact, Eddy displayed excellent synergy with the client in coordinating and obtaining the necessary documentation, from which he prepared an affidavit that was sent to the Plaintiff’s counsel’s office, which established that our client did not belong in the case.

Upon review of the affidavit, Plaintiff agreed to voluntarily discontinue all causes of action asserted against our client. This early dismissal was a decisive victory for the client, as it resulted in substantial time and cost savings. In this matter, the life cycle of the case was a key metric, and Barry McTiernan & Moore's proactive and client-focused efforts resulted in an early resolution that reduced unnecessary legal costs for our client.
