Foley Mansfield Team Secures Appellate Win Upholding Forum Non Conveniens Transfer

Recently, a Foley Mansfield team consisting of Chicago Managing Partner Demetra Christos and Attorney Jessica Espinoza successfully argued a forum transfer on behalf of their client in an alleged malpractice suit.

When the plaintiff in this case filed a petition challenging the decision, Foley Mansfield continued its representation through the appellate phase. An appellate team, including Los Angeles Partner Margaret Johnson and Minneapolis Attorney Paul Magyar, successfully defended the ruling, with the Illinois Appellate Court denying the plaintiff’s petition and preserving the trial court’s order transferring the matter from Cook County to Peoria County.

The decision affirms the forum non conveniens ruling and allows the case to proceed in the proper venue, highlighting Foley Mansfield’s ability to manage complex litigation seamlessly from trial through appeal.
