We are proud to share that Chartwell Law partners Shannon Arsenault and Matthew Olmsted successfully obtained summary judgment in favor of the Elk’s Lodge in a significant wrongful death case involving claims of negligent security. The case stemmed from a tragic shooting that occurred outside the premises during a party hosted by a law-abiding motorcycle club. The shooter, a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang, fired from the public street, killing a man. Despite allegations that the Elk’s Lodge failed to provide proper security, Shannon and Matthew vigorously defended the case, arguing that the incident was neither foreseeable nor preventable as there had been no history of violence on the premises, and the shooting took place on a public street. The Court ruled in favor of our client, successfully blocking the plaintiff's multi-million-dollar demand. Congratulations to Shannon and Matthew for their hard work and dedication in securing this significant victory.

Another courtroom triumph for Chartwell Law! Our Atlanta-based trial team, led by Robert Luskin and Robert Noble, delivered a complete defense victory on August 29th after a four-day trial in Whitfield County Superior Court. The case involved a complex incident where the plaintiff ran over a drive shaft that broke off from a garbage truck owned by our clients, a small waste hauling company. Despite the plaintiff’s claims of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and a jury request for nearly $8.2 million, our team’s compelling evidence and expert testimony led to a swift verdict in favor of our clients after just 1.5 hours of deliberation. Congratulations to Robert Luskin, Robert Noble, and the entire team for this outstanding win! #ChartwellLaw #Atlanta #SuperiorCourt #Litigation #Win #Trial
