For companies facing employment claims, having a reliable and experienced defense team is crucial. In a recent three-day trial, Eccleston & Wolf attorneys Gregg Viola and Mark Johnson secured a successful defense verdict for a locally owned company in a case involving a wage dispute.
The lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County involved a former employee who claimed entitlement to a commission paid to another sales representative. The former employee sought damages exceeding $500,000, including attorney’s fees, asserting his right to a portion of the commission. Attorneys Viola and Johnson defended the employer against these allegations, and successfully argued that the former employee had no right to any portion of the commission. Thanks to the efforts of Viola and Johnson, the Court ruled in favor of the employer.
