A Montgomery County public defender has won nearly $225,000 over claims that county’s chief public defender discriminated against him due to his age.

Part-time public defender Dennis Caglia won the $224,457 verdict in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania earlier this month. The award included $160,000 in emotional harm and $1,877 in prejudgment. Caglia was also awarded $31,290 in back pay—an amount that was doubled due to the jury finding that the conduct was willful.
