  • Achieved a complete victory on all claims on behalf of a synagogue in a multi-day bench trial in Los Angeles Superior Court against former members who fraudulently filed documents with the secretary of state indicating they were the officers and directors of the synagogue and then converted the synagogue’s real property by obtaining a several hundred thousand dollar hard-money loan.
  • Obtained a complete dismissal with prejudice of an action against a synagogue following the commencement of a multi-day trial in Los Angeles Superior Court.
