Success Stories
High six figure injury settlements
Attorney Remley was able to secure a high six figure settlement against a defendant driver who ran a red light and hit Plaintiff's motorcycle, which caused Plaintiff to undergo multiple surgeries, and walk with a cane.
Attorney Remley obtained a high six figure settlement on behalf of a widow whose husband fell down basement stairs in a home they rented, and later died. A toxicologist and construction expert jointly opined that the decedent would have been better off without a railing, than to have a defective, unstable one--because he relied on the railing for support...when had he not reached for a railing, he likely would have braced himself for the fall.

Hill v. Vyas U.S. District Court
Remley represented four women, medical assistants who were forced to put down 9-5 working hours, when in reality, they were each working 10 hour days, and not being paid overtime per the FLSA. Additionally, the Defendant doctor battered two of the women in front of patients, and had secret pension funds, of which the employees had no knowledge. Remley was able to obtain all overtime owed each plaintiff, plus liquidated damages and attorneys fees. Additionally, each employee was paid the equivalent of monies in their "secret" pension funds.
