The Daily Report writes about the surprise deal ending theater trial
“WHEN IT CAME time to seek big money for a shooting in a movie theater parking lot, a plaintiff with a bullet lodged in her gut instead settled with Regal Cinemas for $50,000 just after a jury was seated Monday.”
Defense attorneys Matthew Moffett and W. Winston Briggs were surprised the case settled because their offer had been pending for two years, and there was a large gap between the sides’ valuations of the case.

Fellowship in the Litigation Counsel of America is highly selective and by invitation only. Fellows are carefully selected based upon evaluations of excellence, effectiveness and accomplishment in litigation, and superior ethical reputation.
