During pre-litigation discussions concerning the former employee's partnership claims, the employee defamed and harassed John's client and his client's family.

OUTCOME:
After a two-week trial, the jury rejected the former employee's partnership claim and awarded John's client $250,000 in damages for defamation and emotional distress.
