Wrongful Death

Sex Crimes
Hicks v. The City of New York, et.al., 15 Civ. 4888 (S.D.N.Y.). This civil rights case was commenced on behalf of Tyrone Hicks, a veteran, honorably discharged from the Naval Services, with a history of serious psychiatric ailments who spent seven years in New York State correctional institutions wrongfully convicted of attempted rape, assault and attempted sodomy. Because he was not exonerated until 2014, he was forced to register quarterly as a sexual offender for five years after his release from prison. We co-counseled with Adele Bernhard, Esq., who litigated his exoneration case, in his claim for damages for his wrongful conviction. Mr. Hicks settled the action for $3,250,000.
Assault

Employment Discrimination
Petrovits v. New York City Transit Authority, 2003 WL 22349676 (S.D.N.Y.) (denying the defendant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict); 2004 WL 42258 (granting attorneys’ fees). This sex discrimination case was tried over six days, and resulted in a jury finding that Joan Petrovits was denied a promotion due to her sex. The jury awarded Ms. Petrovits $150,000.00 in compensatory damages, and Magistrate Judge Eaton thereafter entered an Order compelling the defendants to promote her, awarding back pay, and awarding attorneys’ fees to Koob & Magoolaghan and our trial co counsel, the New York University Civil Rights Clinic.
Sexual Harassment
Almodovar v. Andrews, 00-CV-0599 (W.D.N.Y.) This civil rights action was commenced after Sarah Almodovar was brutally assaulted by correction officers because she cooperated in an investigation conducted by the Inspector General’s office into sexual harassment by guards at the Albion Correctional Facility. After months of pre-trial discovery, the case settled for $135,000.00.

Disability Discrimination
Romei v. Shell Oil Company, 1991 WL 692884 (Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty.) (decision on summary judgement motion). In this disability discrimination case, we represented an employee who alleged that Shell Oil discriminated against him based upon the belief that the plaintiff had AIDS. In 1994 a jury awarded plaintiff compensatory and punitive damages in the amount of $121,000.
