Keith Speer V City Of Flint, Genesee County Circuit Court Case No. 08-088276-CD (Hon. Judith A. Fullerton)
In 2009, Mr. Lenhoff was Trial Counsel in the case of Keith Speer v City of Flint. Mr. Lenhoff won a Jury Verdict of $131,000 in the Speer case. After the Trial Court awarded attorney fees and costs, Speer settled for $305,000 – a result far better than the $60,000 settlement amount that was recommended by a Genesee County Circuit Court Case Evaluation Panel. Speer was a particularly important trial because it was the first trial in the multi-plaintiff reverse discrimination litigation involving the Citizens Service Bureau, a 5-member elite Flint Police Department bureau that was created by then-City of Flint Mayor Donald Williamson in a blatant act of reverse racial discrimination.
Eventually, the remaining Citizens Service Bureau cases went to Arbitration. The Arbitrators awarded $2,621,424 to the remaining Citizens Service Bureau Plaintiffs.
