						RECENT 
						VICTORIES: 
						
						In the last couple of years, Randy and Kevin have 
						litigated two very large cases against Korean automotive 
						suppliers. The first was Votar, L.L.C. v. HS R&A Co., 
						Ltd., 370 Fed. Appx. 583; 2010 WL 960313 (C.A.6 (Mich)) 
						2010. Randy tried the case before a jury in the United 
						States District Court in Ann Arbor in December of 2007. 
						The jury awarded every penny of damages asked for, 
						totaling approximately $3.1 million plus continuing 
						sales commissions for life of part. The defendant, HS R 
						& A, appealed the decision and lost. The case was 
						eventually settled for $8.3 million
 In 
						2010 Randy and Kevin prevailed in an arbitration claim 
						against S&T Daewoo Co., Lt., and were responsible for 
						obtaining an arbitration award in favor of their client 
						the Gerard Thomas Company in the amount of $8.49 
						million.  S&T Daewoo appealed the Judgment Confirming 
						the Arbitration Award to the 6th Circuit 
						Court of Appeals and the matter was settled for a 
						confidential amount shortly before the scheduled date 
						for oral argument
 
 Randy and Kevin have also litigated several sales 
						commission cases involving software companies. In 2009, 
						the firm arbitrated a case on behalf of a sales 
						representative from New Jersey who sold software for a 
						Michigan based software company. This was a hard-fought 
						case and involved more than $1 million in commissions. 
						The arbitrators issued a unanimous award in favor or the 
						firm's client in the amount of $1.86 million. This 
						included all past due commissions, penalty damages, 
						arbitrator fees and expenses, plus the firm's entire 
						legal fee calculated on a contingent fee basis.
