In August of 2011, 18 year old Michael Scott Knudsen died while swimming at Clinch Park Marina in Traverse City. In the wake of his death, Knudsen's family hired attorney Geoffery Fieger and Attorney Dean Robb, who filed a 50-million-dollar dollar lawsuit against the city, a workers and inspectors they felt were negligent. A judge's ruling on Monday is being viewed by Traverse City leaders as a positive result.
