Debra Albin-Riley Comments on Judge Who Rendered Complete Defense Verdict in Mission Community Hospital Case

The Daily Journal reported that, “despite her packed calendar, Goldstein doesn’t hesitate to take time to sort out issues, even if it means dividing a case into parts. This occurred in a case involving Darbun Enterprises Inc. and Mission Community Hospitals of San Fernando Valley. Goldstein held a bifurcated trial in which she ordered a private performance first, then held a jury trial on damages.”

Ms. Albin-Riley, who represented defendant Mission Community Hospital before the Los Angeles County (Burbank) judge, said: "Our matter was a pretty sophisticated civil matter. There were complicated issues involving earthquake retrofitting and hospital licensing, and her experience as a civil litigator really came through.”
