The Firm defended the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority in two inverse condemnation actions related to the Blue Line at grade light rail project, and related roadway overpass structures.� The takings claims include easements of access and view and impairment of traffic access and circulation.� Business damages and goodwill losses are also claimed. In one such case I obtained a complete and total victory even before putting on our case-in-chief.� Mr. Pearman was the trial attorney. The claims related to the Rosecrans Avenue Overpass and alleged taking of the easements of reasonable access and view.� Based on the discovery product I had already obtained and our cross-examination of Plaintiff, the judge found that even under the most favorable interpretation of applicable law, the facts did not constitute a taking.� The judgment entered on behalf of my clients was affirmed on appeal.
