Our team represented the estate of a police officer who was killed while responding to a domestic dispute call. He was shot and killed by someone who was on probation at the time. A claim was made against two defendants, including the owner of the home who had informed the officer right before the killing in her home that the killer lived with her and did not have any guns. When faced with this claim, both defendants contributed to settle this case rather than face a trial.
