Episode Details:
Allison MacLellan of MacLellan Law Firm, P.C., the 2018 Massachusetts Lawyer of the Year, shares how she secured the largest verdict in Massachusetts history for an employment-related retaliation claim. The plaintiff -- a Haitian-American nurse named Gessy Toussaint, who worked at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston for over a decade -- sued the hospital and her nurse manager, Mary Ann Kenyon, for discrimination and retaliation, which began after Gessy defended a fellow Haitian-American nurse who was being verbally abused by management. In a true David-versus-Goliath-style trial, the hospital's large, powerful defense team attempted to tarnish Gessy's stellar career record with standard of care violations. Following 14 days of trial and three days of deliberation, a Suffolk County, Massachusetts jury awarded $28,213,000 in damages to Gessy for the retaliation she faced and cleared the hospital of any discrimination charges. Citing MacLellan's meritorious work as a solo trial lawyer, Judge Christine Roach issued an order for the defendants to pay attorney's fees and costs totaling $415,630.85.
