Shawn Staples
CGW prevailed at arbitration through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Jim Wideikis and Shawn Staples represented a well known general contractor that renovated a high end home in Western Springs, a Cook County suburb located about 25 miles west of Chicago. The homeowners sued the general contractor for allegedly breaching their contract.
Jim and Shawn were specifically retained to represent the client at arbitration, and replaced the client’s previous law firm as the arbitration date approached. They successfully persuaded the arbitration panel that; not only did the general contractor not breach the contract, but in fact, the homeowners did. The panel agreed with Jim and Shawn, awarding their client 100% of the consequential damages requested.

After the panel came to their decision, Jim stated, “This was a contentious dispute involving parties that live in the same small town, literally minutes away from each other. We commend the panel for listening to the witness testimony, carefully considering the evidence, and making what we believe was the right decision.”
