Mr. Cassiday has represented many other defendants in cases that have been dismissed or resolved prior to trial and has a wealth of experience in pre-trial litigation, including analyzing the liability and damages issues and developing a defense strategy. He has tried cases involving a variety of medical and hospital specialties, services, and products, a variety of other products, and a variety of other issues including insurance coverage, civil rights, and false arrest.
