Made available on: TVW
Publication date: September 7, 2022
In 2022, Berens had the unique opportunity and honor to argue before the Washington State Division 2 Court of Appeals. Darrin Bailey briefed the legal issue being argued, which centered on the duty a landlord owed to an invitee. Berens delivered oral argument. In this case, the invitee was a Soldier who was shot and killed on the landlord’s property. The evidence revealed extensive law enforcement responses to the property in question and a history of inaction by the landlord. Mike Berens and Darrin Bailey prevailed on the legal issue before the appellate court.
