Elation is the best word to describe the feelings of Koua Fong Lee, his family and his legal team after a Ramsey County judge exonerated him from a wrongful conviction and ordered his immediate release. In 2006, Lee was driving a Toyota Camry that suddenly accelerated, killing three. He maintained his innocence but was nonetheless convicted of vehicular homicide and sentenced to eight years in prison. In August 2010, after an extended evidentiary hearing regarding sudden unintended acceleration of Toyotas, as well as ineffective assistance of counsel, Judge Joanne Smith called for a new trial for Lee from the bench. The Ramsey County Attorney immediately dropped the charges. “It was incredible to be able to help exonerate Koua. It’s the type of case you hope to work on when you apply to law school,” said Bryan Feldhaus of Lommen, Abdo, Cole, King and Stageberg, one of Lee’s attorneys. “He had been wrongly imprisoned for three years and missed the birth of his child. As a new father last year, that really hit home with me,” he said.
Last year also brought a successful result for country music artist Kristen Hall in her lawsuit relating to the band Sugarland, thanks in part to Feldhaus. “It was our position that Ms. Hall was entitled to a one-third partnership interest in Sugarland. She was the founding member of Sugarland and, with her partners, helped build the dynamic Sugarland brand,” Feldhaus said. The widely publicized settlement was reached just days before trial last November.
Feldhaus concentrates in business and intellectual property litigation, as well as professional liability defense. He started at Lommen Abdo as a summer associate after his first year at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
