Please give me a call or lets set up an appointment time, There are a few things I'd like to discuss... a.)  Hiring a premises liability expert specializing in ultrahazardous situations (I realized that the Chainsaw expert I hired (Dr. Lanford) for the case against GAGNON only spoke of the MCGUIRES partial liability as the owners of the chainsaw, not as The owners of the property and the premises liability issue. I believe these are two very different liabilities and must be addressed.) b.) Hiring a premises liability attorney specializing in ultrahazardous situations (To argue any mock trial or whatever it is that needs to be done for us that may very well be in our future) c.) Discuss the pros and cons of accepting the GAGNON award amounts vs. a separate trial over the MCGUIRES homeowners liabilities and responsibilities under ultrahazardous situations. (chainsaws and felling trees puts this in a whole new catagory of Ultrahazardous situations and I believe moves us from "reasonable care for invitees or licensees" to "strict liability" against the homeowners If I am correct about the change in level of liabilities, which I am pretty darn positive I am, It further shows how Mast and Popovich completely dropped the ball and mishandled this case. Thank you both for so much, Paul 847-497-4250 On 7/6/2018 11:23 AM, Office Office wrote: > I will find out from the attorney and let you know.

For some reason it was in my junk email. >> >> Please note they set their motion for July 20, 2018. We will keep you advised of what transpires in Court that day. Also, please know that them filing a Motion to Dismiss is most common in response to a Complaint. The Judge will hear their motion and decide if he will allow it or not. If he does, we will have to file a response to their Motion to Dismiss. If the Judge denies their motion, we will have to amend the Complaint. >> >> Basically, you have nothing to worry about at this time. This matter will not be dismissed based on that motion. >> >> If you have any questions, please let me know. >> >> Thank you, >> >> Melissa J.
