Experience
Second-chaired federal jury trial – drafted motions in limine, jury charges, and voir dire questions; prepared corporate and expert witnesses for testimony – that resulted in a unanimous defense verdict on all seven counts of various lender liability claims.
Secured affirmance of the bankruptcy court’s denial of the debtor’s objection to a proof of claim on theories that the creditor lacks authority to enforce the negotiable instrument and violated the governing pooling and servicing agreement, and dismissal of the debtor’s due process violation claim.
Obtained dismissal with prejudice of all causes of action asserted against the trustee of a mortgage-backed securitized trust, including a cause of action seeking damages under the civil RICO statute, at the pleadings stage.
Prosecuted bankruptcy adversary proceeding on behalf of a food product manufacturing and technological company seeking non-dischargeability of a judgment based upon theories of fiduciary fraud and infliction of willful and malicious injury
As part of a team of three attorneys, obtained dismissal of all claims (including causes of action for quiet title, declaratory judgment, negligence, and violation of the marital right of joint possession) made against a mortgagee partially on summary judgment and partially after trial.
In specialized omnibus proceedings commenced by orders to show cause, obtained leave for three mortgage servicers to issue corrective predicate notices, thereby preserving large populations of foreclosure matters in danger of dismissal.
