Arizona Attorney Magazine recognized the $5,000,000 Johe verdict as one of the top 10 civil verdicts in 2019. The trial was in May 2019 in Tucson, Arizona, where Bob and Jeff represented the mother of a 20-year-old man who died while detoxing at Sierra Tucson, a drug rehab facility.
Sierra Tucson denied fault for her son’s death and only offered $350,000 to settle the case. The jury returned a verdict of $5 million for Gallagher & Kennedy’s client.
