Costello & Mains is pleased and proud to announce that, on August 25, 2011, partner Kevin Costello obtained a verdict in a sexual harassment matter in the matter T. Davis v. Abez Husain.
"We're all very proud of this one," Kevin, who tried the case, says. "This case was a long time coming to trial and Ms. Davis has been very patiently waiting for her day in court. What makes this case unusual and special is that Ms. Davis told the jury during evidence, and allowed me to say during my closing, that this case was about justice and not even about monetary damages. Although the jury did award damages, this was a case where the defendant had steadfastly refused to acknowledge responsibility and where it was necessary for a jury to listen to the evidence and deliver substantial justice. They did so and we are very proud of Ms. Davis and of the jury system in this state."
