Unbeatable Knowledge of the Law
Rissman attorneys Meredith Stephens and Kendall Griesse know the laws and standards relevant to their cases inside and out—even the ones established mere days ago.
When a plaintiff alleged that she fell on a slippery tile in a common area at a resort, the resort chose Rissman to take the case. When we filed a motion for summary judgment, the plaintiff’s counsel failed to serve a response. We argued that the plaintiff violated a rule established by Meisels v. Dobrofsky, 47 Fla. L. Weekly D1239a (Fla. 4th DCA June 8, 2022), which states that, under the new summary judgment standard, the non-movant must serve a response.
The trial court granted summary judgment, finding that plaintiff “had not even presented a prima facie case to establish negligence.”
Comprehensive knowledge of the law is perhaps our greatest asset, and to strengthen your defense, Rissman attorneys will use it all–from age-old legal principles to brand new precedents.
