Susan Yu exonerated a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, who was accused of multiple counts of sexual harassment, lack of informed consent, and other related violations, after more than two weeks of trial before the California Medical Board in Los Angeles, CA.
The final decision by the Administrative Law Judge of the California Medical Board was issued in late April 2007, vindicating the medical doctor of these accusations. The charges had been brought by the California Attorney General after investigating allegations of wrongdoing by three former patients. Defense investigation of this case lasted nearly a year with extensive forensic experts and discovery. This was a highly inflammatory and political case, which the California Medical Board did not want to resolve on reasonable terms before trial. Therefore, Susan’s client refused to accept an unreasonable settlement offer and proceeded to trial. The result proved that the medical doctor was completely innocent.
