It is with great pride that we announce that our very own Sean Ponist will be speaking at the Litigation Counsel of America 2019 Spring Conference & Celebration of Fellows. Only one-half of one percent of American lawyers are invited to be a part of the Litigation Counsel of America, an invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society.
The Ponist Law Group is pleased to announce that Cary D. McReynolds is joining the firm as of counsel. Mr. Ponist and Mr. McReynolds previously worked together at another firm and have worked on several significant matters together since. Mr. McReynolds’ practice focuses on real estate, construction, and business litigation, as well as select family law matters on a case-by-case basis. He is a strong client advocate, with a proven record for success. We hope you'll join us in welcoming him to the firm. More information about Mr. McReynolds can be found on his bio page.

“Panoramic view,” “expansive view,” “scenic view”—these are all common descriptions used to market highly coveted view property. A great view can substantially increase the desirability and value of a property, with view properties often selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars more than neighboring properties of comparable square footage without views. Developers also routinely charge substantially more for premium lots with views in new developments. In most cases, however, the property owner’s view is not protected and, accordingly, buyers unwittingly pay a hefty surcharge for something that can be taken away without recourse.”
In the lawsuit, the plaintiff had alleged wrongdoing on behalf of a client of the Ponist Law Group’s in connection with the foreclosure of a commercial property. The Ponist Law Group successfully moved to dismiss the matter on the pleadings and obtained a judgment in their clients’ favor.
The Ponist Law Group defended a laboratory against claims that it had erroneously switched paternity testing results, allegedly inaccurately indicating that one man was the father of the subject child when, according to plaintiff, it was another man.
The Ponist Law Group represented an elderly client in an arbitration in connection with the purchase of a business and asserted claims for breach of contract, rescission, fraud/misrepresentation and financial elder abuse.
