In the California Court of Appeal, Brent Rupnow has filed a lawsuit against Abundance Therapy Inc., Sarah Lee Kendall, Karen H. Allen, and Crossroads Family Therapy LLC. The case, bearing ID B332508, was filed in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County on April 25th, 2024.
The plaintiff, Brent Rupnow, represented himself and alleged that his relationship with his daughter failed to improve due to the negligence and incorrect treatment by defendant Sarah Lee Kendall. He claimed that this misconduct led to emotional distress from living without his daughter's love and affection. The defendants were represented by Callahan, Thompson, Sherman & Caudill and Christopher J. Zopatti.
Rupnow is seeking judgment for claims of negligence, negligence per se, and negligent hiring, supervision, and retention based on Kendall’s alleged misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment of his daughter. However, the court dismissed the action with prejudice after determining that Rupnow's second amended complaint had the same defects as the first two pleadings.
