How Judge Nevas decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He required competent expert evidence on causation in a legal-malpractice action and entered summary judgment when neither proffered expert addressed whether the plaintiff would have prevailed.
“Neither Dr. Eagen’s letter nor Dr. Winston’s deposition testimony even mentions, let alone provides any opinion about whether Dr. Ordon would have prevailed before the CMEB.”
Cautions
He treated inconsistent explanations for a missed deadline as undermining counsel's credibility when considering relief from dismissal.
“These inconsistent explanations are troubling and cast doubt upon counsel’s credibility.”
