  • One of the recent highlights of Dave’s legal profession came this past summer when he won a jury trial in a Kansas City State Court on a reverse discrimination claim. The plaintiff claimed he was terminated because of his race, as well as his age and in retaliation for complaining about the Company’s discriminatory treatment in favor of minorities. Although incredibly time consuming, the case underscored the importance of consistent application of Company policies and detailed documentation. The case also reinforced Dave’s belief that at the end of the day, jurors must conclude that the Company treated the employee “fairly” and that they are far less concerned about the legal principles underlying the case.
