Attorneys Myisha Howard and Mike Smith Obtain Summary Disposition for their Client in Premises Liability Claim

Plaintiff claimed that Defendant was liable for injuries he sustained in an alleged assault in front of a home owned by Defendant. Plaintiff, a former romantic partner of Defendant, whose home he stayed at, claimed there was a landlord/tenant relationship and as such a special relationship existed giving rise to a duty to expedite police intervention.  Defendant argued that no special relationship existed and even if one did, the duty was extinguished when a neighbor called the police during the altercation.  The Court granted summary disposition on all counts.
