Notable Work
Cases
Plaintiff: Attorney for the plaintiff, Steve G. Ruth. Ruth was employed by the defendant, EKA Chemicals Inc. He alleged that the company violated the age discrimination act by terminating because of his age. The defendant countered and presented facts that showed they had given Ruth several opportunities to resume normal work after his injuries. The also contend that his injuries and the subsequent leaves were not related to his age. An investigation showed that while Ruth was claiming to be unable to return to normal work function he was engaged in rigorous sports activities in his free time. The defendants motioned for summary judgement. Based in the information presented to the court a judge found that the plaintiff had failed to present evidence to support his claim of age discrimination. The summary judgement in favor of the defendant was granted and the case was closed.
Attorney for the Defendant in a case in which a police officer was accused of attempting to bribe another officer with 10k in return, said officer would make a drug charge for the defendant's friend "go away."
