LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2017—Attorney Nick Rowley of Trial Lawyers for Justice and Carpenter, Zuckerman, & Rowley recently stepped in and took a difficult slip and fall case to trial in Santa Monica, California for client Brenda when her trial attorney fell ill and was hospitalized.

DES MOINES, Iowa, March 30, 2017  — Attorney Nick Rowley of Trial Lawyers for Justice will speak at the American Association for Justice (AAJ) “Rules of the Road For Doctors, Drugs, and Devices” seminar at the Fairmont Mission Inn and Spa in Sonoma, California on April 7-8, 2017. Mr. Rowley will be discussing how attorneys can forge and maintain a bond with everyone in the courtroom, including the client, witnesses, members of the jury, and judge.

The “Rules of the Road” seminar is based on a book by Patrick Malone and Rick Friedman that discusses how trial attorneys can prove liability. The event will feature a number of other highly respected speakers, including Shanin Specter, who will talk about what works and what doesn’t in jury cases, and Zoe Littlepage, who will discuss research on persuading conservative jurors. Attendees will also have a chance to network with other legal professionals and discuss their current cases in group brainstorming sessions. The event will wrap up on Saturday afternoon so attendees can spend the rest of the day enjoying wine country.

“The goal of the ‘Rules of the Road’ program is to provide trial attorneys with the knowledge they need to win eight or nine figure verdicts for their clients,” Rowley states. “It is an honor to speak at this event in front of my colleagues who are just as eager to seek justice for their clients as I am.”

The Kern High School District launched an internal affairs investigation against a senior officer last year and accused him of wrongdoing after he helped uncover a decades-long practice of administrators misusing a sensitive police information database, a government claim filed against the district Friday alleges.

Joseph Lopeteguy, the whistleblowing police chief who discovered that his bosses at the Kern High School District were for decades misusing a sensitive police database to spy on students, job applicants and others, filed a civil suit Friday in what could be the first of several related complaints.

DES MOINES, March 7, 2017/PRNewswire/—Attorney Nick Rowley of Trial Lawyers for Justice recently commented on the $127 million verdict awarded to a child who was a victim of sexual assault and her family. James Hohenshell was found guilty of lascivious acts with a child and supplying alcohol to a minor back in 2014 and sentenced to five years in prison. The 13-year-old victim and her family filed a lawsuit against Hohenshell for the pain and suffering and loss of affection caused by the sexual assault.

The plane was on the ground for all of 10 minutes. “I’m Aria,” the pilot said, welcoming his passenger aboard the turbocharged aircraft whose glass cockpit was outfitted with digital displays presumably reverse-engineered using captured Batplane technology.

Aria — whose last name wouldn’t be revealed until the flight back to the Jefferson Municipal Airport — had been dispatched by his employer to retrieve me, and me alone, on this cold February morning. If he should lose consciousness for some reason at any point during the trip, Aria casually explained, I was to pull the red lever above us to activate the airframe parachute system. And with that, we were en route to his boss, a charismatic millionaire 20 times over whose empire, constructed atop human pain and suffering, took less than 15 years to build. Aria was surely taking me to visit a guy who inhabited some kind of secret volcano lair on an uncharted island. Come to find out, Aria’s employer actually inhabits two islands — one in Oceania and one in the Mediterranean.

But Aria’s boss is no evil super-villain. He’s one step up: A personal injury lawyer. Nevertheless, the origin stories bear a striking similarity — here was a fast-talking kid with an unstable upbringing who wound up being expelled from virtually every school he attended. When he finally left his quaint Midwestern town — in this origin story, the town just happens to be Jefferson — he left angry, and in possession of the kind of intellect that all but guaranteed he would be able to build something from nothing. Whether that something would be for good or evil, however, was anybody’s guess.

And now as Aria piloted the Cirrus SR22T toward a wooded river valley below, it would all become clear. With its micro-breweries, bed and breakfasts, organic food co-op and that eagle nest with a webcam on it, Decorah (pop. 8,127) is about as close to Sherwood Forest as you’ll find in Iowa. Attorney Nick Rowley, who has accumulated a personal net worth of $20 million since he left Jefferson as a troubled teen of 17, has become Robin Hood. Bounding from his black Hummer H1 at Decorah’s municipal airport, Rowley greeted Aria with the kind of massive embrace Robin of Locksley might have once upon a time reserved for Little John. “You know that plane has a parachute,” Rowley, 39, informed his guest.
