A 15 year old young man
was hunted down and murdered when he went to visit his girlfriend
in a 400 unit apartment complex in the City of San Diego. The
family's attorney called us to handle the case because of our
experience in this area of the law. The murder drew incredible
amounts of media attention state-wide because of the rise in
gang violence in San Diego and because the young murder victim
had a wonderful family and even more wonderful future. We filed
suit against the apartment complex for failing to evict the
gang member tenant who had terrorized the complex for several
years with gang activity and who coordinated this senseless
and tragic murder. Our lawyers traveled across the country to
more than 4 states locating, interviewing and deposing key witnesses.
We subpoenaed San Diego City attorneys involved in the case
who testified that they had repeatedly warned the complex owners
that their gang problem could be solved and that if they ignored
it any longer, people would be hurt. We hired experts in the
field of gang abatement, property management and crime reduction.
Our professionalism and diligence in litigating this case against
the apartment complex owners so inspired one of the attorneys
representing the defendants, shortly after settling our case,
he quit his defense firm and begin his own practice helping
victims of violent crime. This lawyer has asked our assistance
in helping him set up his practice to to better help crime victims
as we have done for over 25 years.
