Shatz v. Cacci Construction This was a construction defect lawsuit that involved one single-family home. Gray Duffy was retained midway through the litigation to defend Sun State Plumbing, who received a settlement demand in the case for the amount of $10,000. Mr. Scott demonstrated that the claims against Sun State Plumbing were minimal at best, and through aggressively negotiating, resolved the case for the amount of $1,000.
