$637,000 in Cash and Property*
Browner v. DeAngelis 
Middlesex County, New Jersey

Mr. Tournour represented a 71-year-old woman involved in a palimony lawsuit with her former partner. Evidence was presented to demonstrate that the defendant, a 78-year-old developer, had promised to take care of the plaintiff for the remainder of her life. The court found in favor of Mr. Tournour’s client and awarded her $637,000 in cash and property. The judgment included a New Jersey property owned by the defendant and a lump sum payment of $384,256.21. The award stands as the largest palimony recovery ever obtained in Middlesex County.


$400,000 Award *
DeMattia v. DeMattia 
Middlesex County, New Jersey

This case went to trial as a marital tort lawsuit – a civil action that allows individuals involved in a divorce to sue their spouses for physical or emotional injury or damage to property. Mr. Tournour represented the plaintiff, a woman who had been repeatedly abused by her husband and was diagnosed as having a battered woman’s syndrome. Mr. Tournour obtained a $400,000 award on behalf of the woman, helping her to establish independence from her husband and move forward with her life.

The case represented another historic lawsuit for Middlesex County in that it was the first jury trial conducted for marital torts. In obtaining such a large victory for his client, Mr. Tournour helped establish a strong precedent that paved the way for other battered spouses to seek compensation for their injuries.
