An Impressive Victory for Keith Magness against a Reputable and Well-Regarded Law Firm

GRETNA, LA / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2015 / It seems rare that a sole practitioner can win against a large and resourceful law firm such as Simone, Peragine, Smith & Redfearn, LLP. However, this is precisely what attorney Keith L. Magness of the Law Office of Keith L. Magness, LLC in Gretna, Louisiana managed to achieve last fall, while representing local Louisiana company Boes Iron Works Inc. against DWG & Associates, Inc. and Great American Insurance Company in a trial before the Honorable Ivan Lemelle of the Eastern District of Louisiana.

Boes’ claims centered upon its work in support of storm proofing of the Carrolton Avenue Water Plant Power Complex in New Orleans, Louisiana. In a court ruling on October 22, 2014, Judge Lemelle ruled in favor of Magness as Boes’ representative, despite all odds. Simone Peragine representatives were unable to turn the tides in their favor, despite the law firm’s impressive background and resources, as well as their no less than 35 lawyers working for the company at the time of the ruling.

Mr. Magness also faced tough competition from the two attorneys representing the rival companies during the trial, one of whom was none other than reputable and highly experienced senior partner Daniel Caruso.

Made in favor of Plaintiff Bose Iron Works, Inc, the ruling was decided after the thorough evaluation of witness testimonies, exhibits brought in as evidence, and replies filed by each party, leading to a $409,000 judgment and attorney’s fees valued at no less than $40,900 (10% of the awarded amount).

This is not the first time Keith Magness managed to beat the odds against a seemingly more well-equipped opposing side, the attorney having already built up an impressive reputation throughout the state of Louisiana.
