Daniel Felix Martinez v. State Indiana

Plaintiff-appellants Alan S. and Clarajohn H. Freemond (the Freemonds) appeal the dismissal of their action against defendant-appellees Charles A. Somma, Jr., Alexander B. McMurtrie, Jr., Margaret H. McMurtrie, Somma & McMurtrie, P.C., a Virginia Professional Corporation (collectively, the "nonresident defendants"), and George M. Hillenbrand, II. The Franklin Circuit Court dismissed the action against the nonresident defendants[Footnote 1] after concluding it did not have personal jurisdiction and Virginia was a more convenient forum to resolve the litigation.
