$1.5M Federal Jury Verdict in Whistleblower Case

On February 28, 2019 a federal jury of eight (8) jurors returned a unanimous verdict of 8 to 0 and awarded damages in the amount of $1,505,561 for the whistleblower Plaintiff. Plaintiff is represented by The Law Office of Jan T. Aune in this case which involves both federal and state whistleblower claims. The Trial Attorney was Jan Aune. Here is a link to information to the verdict including the current appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit: https://aunelaw.com/whistleblower-case/

The jurors deliberated for approximately fourteen (14) hours, over a three-day period, before reaching a verdict. Since this jury trial took place in U.S. District Court the jury had to return a unanimous verdict for the Plaintiff to prevail, which it did. Trial Attorney Jan Aune, and The Law Office of Jan T. Aune, thanks the eight (8) jurors who were selected to make-up the jury, the two alternate jurors, and all of the prospective jurors who participated in the jury selection process as part of their federal jury duty.
