Riverside Law Group's Matt Crotty obtained an appellate victory before Division III of the Court of Appeals for the State of Washington in a discrimination and retaliation matter. Riverside Law Group represented a worker who was discriminated and retaliated against on account of his disability/L&I claims. Riverside Law Group won the case at an arbitration for the client. The defendants appealed and asked for a trial de novo, but in doing so, failed to follow the statutory process. Since the defendant did not follow the proper appeal process, Riverside Law Group argued the appeal was improper and should be stricken. The trial court grated that request and Division III affirmed the trial court’s decision.

Matthew Mensik and Asti Gallina of Riverside Law Group, PLLC successfully defended a local small business and its owner at trial in Spokane County Superior Court in November of 2022. The plaintiff asserted several partnership and employment related claims against Cadable, LLC, a local Managed IT company, and its owner, seeking a partnership buyout, unpaid wages, and repayment of a $20,000 loan. Mensik and Gallina appeared on the case less than four months before trial, dismissed a key partnership claim on summary judgment, then tried the remaining claims to a twelve-person jury during a week-long trial. The jury found against the plaintiff on his employment related claims and only award $5,000 to the plaintiff for unjust enrichment.
