Matt Gelina & Reagan Ralston Secure Nonsuit Victory

Hartline Barger Associate Reagan Ralston and Partner Matthew Gelina brought in a favorable outcome for a personal insured client when Plaintiff counsel was forced to nonsuit a disputed liability case on the first day of trial after seating a jury. Reagan joined the trial team a short time before the trial was to begin and worked to immerse herself in the facts of the case to the point where she was able to prepare a comprehensive opening statement for the jury laying out the defense evidence and exposing the holes in Plaintiff’s arguments for liability and damages. Reagan is an example of the kind of team approach that allows Hartline Barger to respond to any client’s needs quickly and seamlessly. Our client is happy to finally have this case behind him. Matt and Reagan thank both our client and his insurance carrier for the opportunity to take this case to trial. While others settle for settling, at Hartline Barger we stand our ground.
