In a complex and highly contentious case, GGB represented a client in Shapiro vs. Shapiro (Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2013-00648845). The case involved allegations of elder abuse and fraud related to the signing of a power of attorney. Our client faced a cross-complaint that accused them of these serious charges.
The team, led by Milton V. Fajardo, meticulously prepared for the case, gathering essential evidence and crafting a strong defense strategy. The litigation process was intense and lasted several months, with both parties presenting their arguments and evidence.
Throughout the proceedings, we demonstrated the weaknesses in the cross-complainant’s case and the lack of substantial evidence to support the claims of elder abuse and fraud. Our strategic approach and persuasive arguments resonated with the opposing party.
Ultimately, the cross-complainant agreed to abandon her cross-complaint in exchange for a waiver of costs. This significant outcome underscored our firm’s ability to effectively manage and resolve complex litigation, achieving a favorable result for our client without the need for a prolonged trial.
