Partner Velma Lim Appointed Discovery Referee

Velma Lim is available in San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties to be appointed as a Discovery Referee to assist attorneys with burdensome and convoluted discovery issues. "I will review the materials and render a fair, straight forward and prompt decision," notes Ms. Lim, allowing cases to move forward in the litigation process.

Doctor Exonerated.  A patient at a hospital emergency room alleged that he developed a significant disability as a result of negligence by the emergency physician.  Thomas Perry represented the doctor at a jury trial.  The jury quickly returned a verdict in favor of the doctor, and later remarked on the impressive presentation on the doctor's behalf.  Our professional secretarial and legal staff - including Margaret Weld, Susan Phelps, Debora Rosman and Sarah Kennedy - played a key role in preparing this case for trial.

Happy 25th Anniversary to Margaret Weld! Kroloff recently celebrated Margaret Weld's 25th anniversary with the firm. Margaret joins estate planning paralegal Susan Martin in the "Over 25 Club".  All who have worked with Margaret during the past 25 years can attest to her dedication to her work, and what a pleasure it is to work with her.  Kroloff would like to thank Margaret for all that she has done, and continues to do, for the firm and those around her.
