| We represented Smith & Wesson as local counsel in two sets of related cases in which the City of Chicago and certain decedents of individuals killed by gun violence sued a large number of gun manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for negligence and public nuisance. We sought dismissal of all claims as lacking proper legal basis and won pre-trial dismissal of some but no all of the claims at the trial court level. On appeal of the motions to dismiss, the case eventually was argued before the Illinois Supreme Court, which in 2004 threw out all of the claims in a complete victory for our client and the other defendants. |
