Defense Victory for Partner Daniel Shinoff and Associate Jeanne Blumenfeld

Stutz Artiano’s education attorneys secured a defense victory following more than a three-week trial in the case of Bock v El Centro Elementary School District and Gerardo Sanchez. The case was heard in El Centro Superior Court before Honorable Harold Bradford, with a jury verdict rendered after only a brief deliberation.  Plaintiff, formerly a physical education teacher with the El Centro Elementary School District, sought punitive and lost earnings damages asserting charges of harassment, constructive discharge and hostile work environment. The trial defense team was led by Partner Daniel Shinoff and Associate Jeanne Blumenfeld
