McManimon & Scotland, L.L.C. Prevails in State’s Highest Court

01.31.11

On Monday, January 31, 2011, the Supreme Court of the State of New Jersey affirmed a decision in favor of the firm’s client, finding that the expungement of a criminal conviction does not deny a defendant the truth of the underlying conviction as a defense in a defamation and privacy tort action.  William W. Northgrave, a member of McManimon & Scotland, L.L.C., had argued the case, beginning with an interlocutory appeal from an adverse decision in the trial court.
