Acquital in Federal Antitrust Case

In late 2001, SSH obtained an acquittal in a federal price-fixing case after a seven week federal jury trial in Houston, Texas. The case followed several convictions of individuals in the same industry, and one witness who pled guilty and testified against SSHs client. SSH lawyers Norm Siegel and Todd McGuire were responsible for several key direct and cross examinations in the case, including the cross examination of an ex-employee, and the direct examination of the defendants expert witness. The Government had sought jail sentences of 4 years or more.
