  • Jury Finds In Favor Of Former Yolo Food Bank Executive Director Michael Bisch On All Claims Against Yolo Food Bank Defendants

    Sanjiv N. Singh with client at Yolo Courthouse

    Woodland, California – After approximately 20 hours of deliberation, a Yolo County jury today delivered a verdict in favor of Michael Bisch, former Executive Director of Yolo Food Bank, on his long standing lawsuit against his former employer. The jury appears to have ruled unanimously on liability on all causes of action against all Defendants, including finding Yolo Food Bank liable for wrongful termination against public policy, whistleblower retaliation, breach of contract, and defamation. The jury also ruled to award punitive damages against Yolo Food Bank in connection with wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation, and defamation, and also ruled to award punitive damages against former Yolo Food Bank director and real estate developer Dan Ramos.

    For liability in the first damages phase, the jury has awarded $1,041,667 for wrongful termination, $1,051,667 for whistleblower retaliation, $666,667 for breach of contract, and varying amounts against the individual defendants and Yolo Food Bank for what Plaintiffs alleged was a campaign of defamation culminating in a press release issued by Yolo Feed Bank. Defamation damages against all individual defendants and Yolo Food Bank so far total approximately $240,000. The punitive damages phase of the deliberations will continue later in the month when the jury will decide on the amount of punitive damages to award.

    “This verdict vindicates Mr. Bisch’s four years of exemplary service to Yolo County’s most vulnerable residents,” said Sanjiv N. Singh, lead counsel for Mr. Bisch, and veteran catastrophic loss litigator with major settlements and/or verdicts for high profile cases against The Boeing Company, Los Angeles County, American Airlines,  Level 10, Webcor, The Jay Paul Company, and numerous confidential settlements with major firms, charities, and corporations. “Mr. Bisch should be heralded as a champion of nonprofit accountability—he fought a long and hard battle to seek justice for retaliation and refused to capitulate when his Board gave in to improper pressure and conflicted interests.”

    Michael B. Indrajana, Mr. Singh’s long standing co-counsel in 75 claims against Boeing in two separate crashes, sat second chair for what was his first jury trial. “It was a privilege to have worked by Michael Bisch’s side on this groundbreaking lawsuit,” Mr. Indrajana added.

    Evidence at trial showed a systematic campaign to discredit Bisch, including false allegations that were not true and not properly investigated. Yolo Food Bank Board members’ own testimony revealed they likely conducted no meaningful investigation of allegations against Mr. Bisch. Evidence showed defendants’ explanations for termination were likely pretextual and constantly shifting. Multiple former employees testified to the positive transformation of the organization under Mr. Bisch’s leadership.

    Singh added that, “This verdict sends a clear message that nonprofit executives cannot be terminated for fulfilling their ethical obligations and protecting the interests of the community.”

    CASE REFERENCE: Michael Bisch v. Yolo Food Bank, et al., Yolo County Superior Court Case No. CV2022-1431

    Sanjiv N. Singh APLC is a catastrophic loss litigation firm focusing on high stakes litigation. Current cases include multiple clients with losses in connection with the historic 2025 Altadena or so called Eaton Fire alleged to have been caused by Southern California Edison, high profile wrongful death cases against San Mateo County, catastrophic loss against a large Northern California transit company, and wrongful death claims against PG&E and the County of Marin for dangerous overhead power lines alleged to have killed a father of three. High profile cases include multiple settled claims against The Boeing Company for the crash of Lion Air Flight JT610, an eight digit settlement for the death of an iron worker at the Apple Campus in Sunnyvale, groundbreaking settlements in three different DCFS cases in Los Angeles county involving wrongful death and employee whistleblowing, and numerous other high impact matters.

  • Local 4 News to Air “Washed Away in Edenville” as Attorney Jason Thompson Moves Forward with Litigation to Recover Compensation for the Affected Communities

    Midland Dam Edenville Dam Collapse

    Detroit, Michigan – The ongoing search for accountability and justice in the aftermath of the 2020 Edenville Dam collapse will be in the spotlight as Detroit’s Local 4 News airs “Washed Away in Edenville” on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 5:30 p.m. The special broadcast comes at a critical juncture in the litigation, as the Michigan Court of Claims recently issued a detailed opinion allowing plaintiffs’ central expert witness to testify in the landmark case, David Krieger, et al. v. Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, et al. (Case Nos. 20-000094-MM and related matters).

    The May 19, 2020, failure of the Edenville Dam, followed by the overtopping of the Sanford Dam, led to catastrophic flooding across Midland, Saginaw, Arenac, Gladwin, and Losco counties. Nearly 11,000 residents were forced to evacuate, and more than 2,500 homes and buildings were damaged or destroyed. Damages have been estimated at over $1 billion, according to court filings.

    Sommers Schwartz, based in Detroit, represents plaintiffs in the consolidated litigation pending before Hon. James Robert Redford in the Michigan Court of Claims. The lawsuits allege that state agencies, including the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), engaged in actions and omissions that substantially contributed to the dam’s failure, resulting in devastating losses for thousands of Michiganders.

    Central to the plaintiffs’ case is the testimony of William Sturtevant, a professional engineer and accomplished dam safety expert. In a recent opinion and order, Judge Redford denied the state’s motion to bar Sturtevant’s testimony, finding that his report and qualifications meet Michigan’s standards for expert evidence. The court’s analysis relied on the Michigan Rules of Evidence and key legal precedents, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which guides the admissibility of scientific and technical expert testimony.

    In his order, Judge Redford stated, “Sturtevant’s opinions easily satisfy this standard. Defendants acknowledge, and the Court agrees, that Sturtevant is qualified as an expert in dam safety and regulation whose testimony in this area is based on methods and procedures that are well-recognized in his field.” The court emphasized that the role of the judge at this stage is to act as a gatekeeper, ensuring that expert opinions presented at trial are both relevant and reliable, but not to weigh competing evidence before trial.

    The opinion further noted that Sturtevant’s declaration spans 22 pages and addresses technical questions central to the case, including the extent of state knowledge about the dam’s hazardous condition and the regulatory actions taken leading up to the disaster. Plaintiffs allege, as detailed in court documents, that state regulators “willfully and with reckless disregard” ignored escalating risks, compounding the danger to the public and ultimately contributing to the dam’s collapse.

    The court rejected the state’s arguments that the expert report’s form was insufficient, writing, “Simply put, the fact that plaintiffs submit Sturtevant’s expert report in the form of a declaration does not support exclusion of Sturtevant’s testimony at trial or another sanction under MCR 2.313.”

    As the litigation advances, residents and legal observers await further developments. Sommers Schwartz attorney Jason Thompson, a lead trial attorney for the plaintiffs, urged community members to contact their representatives in the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives. “The people of these communities deserve meaningful compensation for the disruption and loss they have endured,” Thompson said. “The legal process is a critical avenue for ensuring those responsible are held to account, and that the people impacted by this disaster can rebuild their lives.”

    Thursday’s “Washed Away in Edenville” feature on Local 4 News is expected to provide a comprehensive look at the disaster and its aftermath, including community stories, investigative reporting, and a summary of the ongoing litigation. The segment comes as the case gains significant momentum, with the court’s recent Daubert ruling ensuring that a key component of the plaintiffs’ evidence will be heard at trial.

    The consolidated litigation represents one of the largest and most complex inverse condemnation actions in Michigan history. Plaintiffs seek compensation under a cause of action that, according to court records, provides a remedy for property owners when government actions substantially diminish property value without a formal exercise of eminent domain powers.

    The Edenville Dam litigation has broader implications for the state’s infrastructure policies and regulatory oversight. As the court noted, the reliability and credibility of expert testimony will ultimately be determined by the court, following a full presentation of the facts and evidence at trial which will be live-streamed on YouTube for the public to view.

    Local 4 News’ “Washed Away in Edenville” will air Thursday, Nov. 13, at 5:30 p.m., providing the public with timely updates on the disaster, its enduring impact on Michigan families, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. Viewers are encouraged to tune in to learn more about the legal and human dimensions of this unprecedented event.

    Court documents and filings remain available for public review as the litigation continues. Sommers Schwartz remains committed to advocating for affected residents and ensuring that their voices are heard throughout the legal process.

    According to the complaint, the fire began on the first floor, sending heavy smoke through the building.(Tommy Gantt Jr. v. Rockford Housing Authority and Park Terrace Apartments, Case No. 2025-LA-0000356), Mr. Gantt was forced to jump from a window when thick smoke and inoperable elevators trapped residents and visitors during the early-morning blaze on October 17, 2024.

    The suit alleges RHA failed to maintain adequate fire-safety systems, install sprinklers, ensure functional elevators and exits, or provide an effective evacuation plan for the building’s elderly and disabled population. The City of Rockford later deemed the building unsafe until critical systems were repaired.

    “Our client faced an impossible choice: burn inside or leap for his life,” said Jess D. Jordan, attorney for Mr. Gantt. “This tragedy was foreseeable and preventable. Public-housing residents and their guests deserve safe, code-compliant homes.”

  • Esteemed Financial Markets Attorney Joins Kopecky Schumacher Rosenburg LLC

    David Slovick

    Chicago, Illinois — Kopecky Schumacher Rosenburg LLC announced its continued growth in its 15th year with the addition of a third former SEC lawyer to the firm, further strengthening the firm’s capabilities in securities and commodities enforcement defense and litigation while expanding the firm’s presence into New York and Washington, D.C.

    David Slovick, who served for nearly a decade at both the CFTC and the SEC before joining an AmLaw100 law firm, brings extensive experience in all major markets for securities and commodities enforcement to Kopecky Schumacher Rosenburg LLC.

    “I’m looking forward to rejoining my friends and former SEC colleagues who have built a firm that is rightly regarded as a go-to resource for financial markets litigation, enforcement defense and regulatory counseling,” said Slovick. “Our combined experience makes us unique among small to mid-size firms specializing in enforcement and regulatory work.”

    Slovick recently represented a C-suite officer in parallel CFTC, SEC and DOJ investigations into Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX Trading and its affiliated entities. Earlier this year he represented a former JPMorgan investment banker in his appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals challenging collateral associational bars imposed in an SEC enforcement action.

    “This is an exciting milestone for KSR,” said Jim Kopecky, a founding partner. “The background Howard Rosenburg and I have with the SEC has always differentiated us as a firm. Bringing David on board adds to the depth of SEC experience we have at the firm, and also adds to our experience on the commodities side. Our clients will further benefit from his SEC and CFTC background and practice experience in Chicago, New York, and D.C.”

    In addition to his legal practice, Slovick is a frequent speaker at compliance conferences and contributes articles and commentary on regulatory and enforcement topics to publications including The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Bloomberg, Futures & Derivatives Law Report, The Hill, Hedge Fund Law Report, Securities Regulation Law Journal, and Securities Law 360.

    Kopecky Schumacher Rosenburg LLC is a boutique litigation firm founded in 2010, that focuses on business and financial markets‑related disputes involving private litigation, as well as regulatory investigations and actions.
