Wrongful death suit in Hillsborough resident Tiffany Li case settled

“This was a very long and hard battle. Given the fact we have two minor children involved, our concern was to best protect the sensitivities of the two young girls. Our job was to resolve the case in a manner that respected the memory of Keith Green,” Frank Pitre, Cudd’s attorney, said.

The settlement was confidential, and Pitre did not disclose specific financial amounts, citing privacy concerns for the children. Pitre said the case was now wholly resolved for all parties, which includes Cudd and an estate for the two children. The case was delayed because of the criminal trial’s length and to access criminal trial information from the investigation. Pitre said the settlement ensured a fair and reasonable result for all parties and helped protect the children and Green’s memory.

“We believe both were achieved,” Pitre said.

The settlement details between the two sides will be finalized and presented to the San Mateo County Superior Court for review and approval because the two children are minors. The court must approve of the settlement and ensure it is fair and reasonable. It will also see the creation of a trust managed by a trustee and supervised by the court. The hearing will take place Feb. 17.
