Telluride vs. San Miguel Valley Corp. Eminent Domain Case

Synopsis
Visual Advantage designed demonstratives and provided in trial presentation support to Otten Johnson  Robinson Neff & Ragonetti, whose defense team Darrell Waas, Mikaela Rivera, and Patricia Campbell represented the San Miguel Valley Corp. in a $50 million dollar eminent domain case.

The Town of Telluride attempted to acquire the 570-acre Valley Floor under the eminent domain law from the San Miguel Valley Corp.  Telluride’s appraisers had valued the property at $26 million, far lower than the $50 million appraisal performed for the San Miguel Valley Corp.  The six-member jury was responsible for deciding which appraisal best reflects the value of the property.

Verdict
After deliberating for two weeks, the jury delivered a verdict in favor of the San Miguel Valley Corp. for $50 million.

Edgar F. Kaiser, Jr. v. Patrick D. Bowlen, PDB Sports, Ltd.

Synopsis
In 2004, a U.S. District Court jury ruled in favor of plaintiff Edgar Kaiser, who was attempting to force current owner Pat Bowlen of PDB Enterprises, Inc. to sell a percentage of ownership of the Denver Broncos football team back to him. An appeal to overturn the 2004 ruling was filed in August of 2006 by the defendant refuting the right of Kaiser to force the sale.

Visual Advantage provided trial consulting support and demonstrative design services to Reilly, Pozner & Williamson, LLP, who defended Bowlen at trial. Kaiser claimed that Bowlen had promised him first right of refusal for a percentage of purchase of the team and violated the terms of the 1984 sale of majority ownership of the team by dividing it with siblings and offering former Bronco John Elway a share of the team.

Verdict
The jury dismissed the breach of warranty claim and denied judgment, remanding the case in favor of defendant, Pat Bowlen.

"… The Court notes that the defendants employed a third party to assist with the compilation and presentation of a great deal of complex medical information. The Court’s observation of the technical support provided by the defendants during the trial was professionally done and was helpful to the presentation of the case. The Court has no reasonable basis for discounting the invoice."
