$1 Million settlement

Chris Hart Law used several tried-and-true strategies to secure a $1 Million Dollar apartment shooting settlement in South Carolina.  We were “gobsmacked” at the unspeakable amount of crime that occurred on the apartment complex every day.  The FOIA request for crime reports soared into several thousands of dollars in costs and several months to produce the reports.  No depositions or mediations were necessary after Chris Hart Law presented the absentee apartment owners with the risks associated with a long protracted legal battle.

The out of state owners never visited the apartment complex and never implemented any security measures to protect the tenants or visitors.  They siphoned the profits from the apartment complex but refused to install basic lighting, security gates, or armed security. It was an honor to bring justice to our clients and hold the out of state apartment owners accountable.
