Sniffen & Spellman Earn Defense Verdict in Federal Jury Trial On August 12, 2009, a jury returned a defense verdict in favor of the State Department of Transportation in a case alleging gender discrimination, retaliation and a hostile work environment. Rob Sniffen, Michael Spellman and David Marsey were counsel of record for the DOT in the 3-day trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. The case was brought by Angela Miller, a senior attorney with the DOT, who alleged that her former supervisor had discriminated against her on the basis of her gender, and following her complaints, had subjected her to a hostile work environment and retaliation. The jury deliberated for just over one hour before reaching its verdict that Plaintiff had failed to prove any of her claims. |
