Wayne Melnick obtained summary judgment on both plaintiffs’ claims and our client’s counter-claims in Fulton County, Georgia. Plaintiffs (husband and wife) alleged that while attending her child’s gymnastics exhibition, the wife fell off a mat and fractured her ankle. Despite being presented with a waiver and release that she signed and offered the chance to have all counter-claims dropped if plaintiffs dismissed their case, plaintiffs insisted on pushing the case forward.  FMG not only won summary judgment on all of plaintiffs’ claims (which was affirmed by the Georgia Court of Appeals), we also won summary judgment on our counter-claims with the Court awarding all FMG’s attorney’s fees and expenses of litigation.
