Notable cases
- Our state team retained a Florida LLC and its members who were being accused of fraudulently inducing an investor to loan the LLC approximately $50,000 and later used those funds for personal rather than business purposes. The plaintiff alleged that our clients targeted her as a newly widowed elderly woman and coerced her to make the loans to carry out an elaborate fraudulent scheme. The plaintiff sought to pierce the corporate veil and collect damages. After doing her due diligence, Julia successfully drafted and argued a Motion to Dismiss all counts against all defendants. The Judge found Julia's Motion and arguments to be extremely well-founded and comprehensive and presented compelling arguments that warranted complete dismissal.
