Firm forces non-signatory to agreement to Arbitration.   Rosenthal Law Group successfully obtained an order compelling arbitration on behalf of its client, an indoor trampoline park, in a personal injury lawsuit filed against its client. In order to gain access to the trampoline park, participants were required to sign a waiver and release. In response to the Firm’s motion to compel arbitration and to stay the pending action, plaintiff argued that he did not sign a waiver and release and, therefore, was not bound by the arbitration clause in the waiver and release. Rosenthal Law Group effectively argued that agreements to arbitrate are no different that all other contracts and that plaintiff was on notice that he was required to execute a waiver and release to participate in the trampolines. When plaintiff participated, he assented to the terms of the waiver and release and that said waiver and release contained an enforceable mandatory arbitration clause. 

In February 2019, the Honorable Carol-Lisa Phillips of the 17th Judicial Circuit entered an order granting Rosenthal Law Group’s motion to compel arbitration and ordered the parties to proceed to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to the terms of the waiver and release.

Alex Rosenthal and Amanda Jassem Jones, represented a not-for-profit company, Oorah, Inc. against Turn Key Steel Buildings, Inc. The case began when a dispute in the contract was made due to Turn Key Steel Buildings' failure to comply with the agreement made between the companies. When Turn Key Steel Buildings failed to supply Oorah with the manufactured steel building that they had purchased for a summer camp program in New York, Oorah and its attorneys filed an arbitration. Conducted before the American Arbitration Association, the hearing concluded in favor of our clients, rewarding them with a final judgment of $89,823.00 in addition to attorneys' fees.

In a big win for Rosenthal Law Group, attorneys Alex Rosenthal and Amanda Jassem Jones secured a judgment for damages of nearly $695,999.53 at trial in a case against Martino Tires Co. of Flamingo Falls and its president in a claim for breach of commercial lease and guaranty. This case arose after the defendant, Martino Tires entered into a lease and guaranty in 2000, but in 2009, vacated the leased property and ceased paying rent. After our client reassumed possession of the premises, we filed a suit on behalf of our client against Martino Tires and its president seeking damages arising out of the breach of the lease. Despite the defendant's claims that the landlord improperly took back possession of the property without legal process, and that the guaranty was not enforceable against him personally, the trial court rejected both defenses and ultimately made a decision in favor of our client.
