The majority owner of a successful company was sued by a former minority shareholder she had previously bought out.  The plaintiff alleged that his rights as a minority shareholder were violated before he sold his stock.  In a case of first impression, the plaintiff claimed that he had been illegally terminated from his employment and was entitled to lost salary.  He also claimed emotional distress damages for having been forced off the board of directors, and he argued that his stock sale did not preclude either claim.  

Our team of trial attorneys first persuaded the court to dismiss the employment claim, and then resolved the rest of the claim successfully.  Decisive developments in the case included locating the plaintiff’s pertinent medical records and forcing the production of his personal diary, which revealed multiple sources of distress beyond his employment termination.
