Los Angeles, CA – DOAR congratulates Mark Troy, Jeffrey Rutherford, Mana Elihu Lombardo and Megan Weisberger of Crowell & Moring for their excellent work and a well-deserved win. DOAR supported the victory secured by Lockheed Martin Corporation, against Nyle Hooper. After one day of deliberation, a jury in the Central District of California found that Lockheed did not violate the False Claims Act by providing false estimates and that Nyle Hooper’s discharge was not retaliatory. DOAR’s Dr. John McCabe, Melissa Pomerantz, Scott Allen and Dr. Roy Futterman advised Lockheed’s legal team based on the results of pre-trial research.

DOAR’s work included consultation on the opening and summation, jury selection, graphics and courtroom presentation.
