Plaintiff was a Chinese national who watched his parents drown in front of him after a rogue wave hit a popular Northern California tourist attraction. Through aggressive discovery, including a 10-hour deposition of the plaintiff, Mr. Rosvall was able to resolve the case with less than a cost-of-defense settlement.
Obtained Nondischargeable Judgment in Favor of Client: Mr. Rosvall obtained an entry of a nondischargeable judgment against a sports promoter who solicited funds for an international soccer exhibition match from a local businessman shortly before filing bankruptcy.
