Robert Chance joined Russo and Gould LLP after completing a year-long judicial clerkship with the New Jersey Superior Court. Robert assisted the Honorable Judge Kevin T. Smith in preparing motions, drafting opinions, and tackling complex legal issues.
Robert attended the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law. During his time at Drexel Law, Robert was an active member of the moot court board, participating in multiple nationwide competitions. Robert dedicated much of his time in law school to providing pro bono legal services, specifically through his participation with the Pennsylvania Innocence Project, the Philadelphia Legal Assistance Employment Advocacy Project, and as a fellow with the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project teaching a yearlong high school course in constitutional law and oral advocacy. Prior to joining law school, Robert attended the University of Maryland where he earned a bachelor's degree in history.
Representing a national self-storage company in a Philadelphia lawsuit, Russo & Gould''s Chuck Stokes forced a Plaintiff to withdraw her claims against the client, and obtained court approval of the dismissal of the client just minutes before the jury panel was brought into the courtroom.
A fun day was had by all as Russo & Gould celebrated its second annual "Take Your Kids to Work Day". Participants ranged in ages from 1 to 14. For the older kids they were treated to a mock trial on a social media post entitled "The Post That Went Too Far"
Congratulations go out to Tashi Vaish who got a unanimous defense verdict on liability earlier today in Supreme Kings on the Salway Nasser v. Tadhbir Singh and Jean R. Joseph case. The plaintiff, who did not know who caused the accident, was a passenger in the insured''s livery vehicle headed to JFK Airport. The co-defendant was also a livery driver and neither driver could be produced for either a deposition or trial.
