At Mark & Galusha, LLC, nothing is more satisfying than knowing we successfully litigated a case for our client - - not only in terms of justice being served but in terms of financial compensation. Often, the awards and settlements reached within the legal system are final however, there are rare occasions when a judge may decide to make changes.

In the matter of Sara Lesende v. Arnold Borrero, et al., 06-cv-4967, a jury found that $2.7 million in damages was sufficient after Ms. Lesende was pulled from her vehicle and assaulted by police officers in Newark, New Jersey. Nevertheless, District Judge, Dickinson Debevoise, researched other matters regarding police brutality and came to a shocking conclusion - - that Ms. Lesende accept $750,000 or appear for another trial regarding damages. To add insult to injury, the City of Newark filed a motion seeking a new trial, stating that the jury was obviously swayed by "passion or prejudice."
