Jamie L. McPherson

• Obtained a peace order preventing a former employee of a large healthcare company from contacting all company employees and requiring the former employee to stay away from all company locations.
• Partially won summary judgment on behalf of a media company in a 13-count lawsuit, which resulted in the dismissal of the former employee’s race, national origin, sex, religion, and disability discrimination claims and retaliation claims under the D.C. Human Rights Act. The Court held that the media company had a legitimate non-discriminatory reason for the employment actions taken against the former employee, and the former employee failed to establish that the employment actions taken by the media company were causally related to any alleged protected activity.
• Obtained significant sanctions against a plaintiff and her attorney in a case in the D.C. Superior Court. They discovered that the plaintiff had fabricated evidence to support her wage claim. Still, the plaintiff and her counsel (in the words of the court) “tripled down” on the supposed authenticity of the evidence and then tried to use the fraudulent evidence to barter a deal with the company.
