CVMM lawyers Michael Lindberg and Peter Lindberg defended an international automobile auction company in a breach-of-contract lawsuit.  On the first day of trial in Minnesota state court in May 2017, they requested the dismissal of the plaintiff’s case because of his inability to prove liability or damages.  The judge, who had previously denied a motion for summary judgment, agreed, and not only dismissed the case with prejudice, but, in an extremely rare ruling, awarded the CVMM client its attorneys’ fees and expenses for trial preparation in a judgment against the plaintiff.
