Notable Verdicts
Kowalski et al. v. John Hopkins All Children’s Hospital
The story of the Kowalski family was told in an award winning documentary “Take Care of Maya” which debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023. “In October 2016, Jack Kowalski took his 10-year-old daughter Maya to a hospital emergency room seeking help for extreme pain related to her documented neurological condition: complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Just days later, Maya was declared a ward of the state after physicians suspected her mother, Beata, of child abuse. For the couple, it marked the beginning of a nightmare as they were cut off from their daughter who was held at the hospital against her will. With little recourse, they had no option but to comply. In the excruciating months that followed, Jack and Beata found themselves at the mercy of a flawed child welfare system and ultimately embroiled in a David and Goliath legal battle with devastating consequences.” The case culminated in a 9 week trial and a jury verdict of $261 million.

The S.S. United States
AndersonGlenn served as General Counsel to Marmara Marine and later, the S.S. United States Corporation.
We successfully negotiated maritime liens and replevin of the World’s Fastest Ocean Liner, the S.S. United States from Istanbul, Turkey. The ocean liner was towed through the Marmara Straits and across the Atlantic to the Philadelphia ship yard (where she rests today) following the death of Edward A. Cantor, the real estate magnate behind the attempts to restore her to her former glory. The S.S. United States was constructed entirely of aluminum, even the piano in the main gallery, to decrease weight and give her great speed. Designed in the mid-1950’s as a means of getting combat troops to Europe in the vent of war with the Soviet Union, she entered service in 1958, just in time for the Boeing 707 to begin transatlantic service and end the era of the ocean liner. The efforts by Cantor to purchase and restore her brought reams of admiralty litigation, all of which the firm handled.
