Online, July 14, 2011 (Newswire.com) - James W. Kellenberger, a well-respected Santa Clara attorney, achieved another milestone victory in the De Anza baseball case when all charges against his client were dismissed. Following pretrial motions, jury selection, opening statements, and over four days of testimony, Jim Kellenberger finally convinced the plaintiff's lawyers to dismiss all claims against his client without his client paying so much as a penny. The plaintiff was seeking $9.3 million from all defendants and $500,000.00 from Jim's client. This was the first voluntary dismissal in the case, and led to the dismissal of another defendant and substantial reductions in settlements with others. The remaining defendants realized complete vindication when the jury returned a defense verdict, and they joined Jim's client in celebration.
