Pro Bono

Served as trial counsel for a domestic violence survivor in defending against claims of malicious prosecution and abuse of process brought by her former spouse in federal court in the Eastern District of New York. After the client had represented herself for eight years, Kelley Drye took on the matter pro bono and immediately prepared the case for trial on an expedited schedule. The team managed all aspects of a four-day jury trial, effectively countering emotionally charged allegations and demonstrating significant inconsistencies in plaintiff’s testimony, and ultimately securing a unanimous jury verdict in the client’s favor.
