Verdicts & Settlements

Case Results

01
Bobby B., a Phyllostachys Rubromarginata plant client of the Garden Lawyer

Bobby B.

(Phyllostachys Rubromarginata)

Bobby was a week-old Red Margin bamboo shoot who was ruthlessly chewed down by a serial killer squirrel. I was able to secure a wrongful death verdict and a 1.3MM acorn award for Bobby's family. Additionally, as part of the settlement we established a scholarship in Bobby's name for deserving bamboos at Texas A&M.

02
Tommy T., a Solanum lycopersicum plant client of the Garden Lawyer

Tommy T.

(Solanum lycopersicum)

Tommy is a Brandywine tomato plant. Last spring, Tommy was assaulted by a hail storm. Fortunately, Tommy survived but suffered irreparable damage to several of his leaves and petioles. I was able to obtain a generous settlement from the local television station, whose meteorologists negligently failed to warn Tommy's host of the impending storm.

03
Priscilla P., a Capsicum annuum plant client of the Garden Lawyer

Priscilla P.

(Capsicum annuum)

Priscilla is an El Jefe jalapeno plant. Priscilla was eaten alive by a gang of snails, and she suffered life-threatening damage to her leaves, despite the fact that her host had correctly applied slug and snail deterrent. Through discovery I was able to determine that the manufacturer knew its product to be ineffective against virtually all types of snails yet continued to promote it as a slug and snail pesticide. Priscilla became the lead plaintiff in my billion-dollar class action lawsuit against the agrochemical giant.

04
Brandon B., a Phyllostachys heteroclada plant client of the Garden Lawyer

Brandon B.

(Phyllostachys heteroclada)

Brandon is a Solid Stem bamboo plant. Brandon suffered a catastrophic injury to his culm, resulting from the negligence of a landscaping crew, which left him unable to stand upright. I didn't just take his case: I litigated it, advised him, and got Brandon twelve times the amount of the insurance company's first settlement offer.

From the Bench & the Soil

Zach is the only plant attorney I know

Arthur Acacia
(Vachellia nilotica)

Thank goodness I found Zach after retaining two other 'people lawyers' who claimed they 'represented plants.' It was like those other attorneys didn't even speak my language. Zach gets us.
