The Ponist Law Group Obtains $8.85 Million Settlement for Clients

The Ponist Law Group’s (PLG) clients had purchased a new, high-end home for $3.1 million several years back. The home was supposed to be their dream home but, instead, it turned out to be a nightmare. Shortly after the close of escrow, our clients discovered significant construction defects.

PLG filed suit on behalf of our clients against the developer-sellers as well as the real agent and brokerage company. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, negligence, fraud, misrepresentation and unjust enrichment and sought rescission, punitive damages and other consequential damages.

During the litigation, the defendants sought to stonewall discovery efforts. Their actions were not well-taken and PLG obtained orders compelling discovery as well as major issue and evidentiary sanctions against them, effectively establishing liability against the defendants. Based thereon, PLG obtained summary adjudication and established grounds for punitive damages.

As a result, PLG was able to obtain a settlement on behalf of our clients for rescission and $8.85 million.

The Ponist Law Group (“PLG”) represented clients wrongly accused of failing to pay back a purchase money loan and of fraud in connection therewith.  Attacking the merits of the action, PLG moved for dismissal (judgment on the pleadings).  Based on the strength of PLG’s moving papers, the other side dismissed the action and agreed to a full release of all claims against our clients.  The great result—i.e., a complete dismissal of the action early in the proceedings—saved our clients significant time, expense and aggravation of protracted litigation.

Nationwide Biweekly Administration, Inc., Loan Payment Administration, LLC, and Daniel S. Lipsky, the alleged alter ego, principal and sole shareholder of Nationwide and Loan Payment (collectively petitioners) operate a debt payment service that claims to reduce the amount of interest owed by accelerating debt repayment via an extra annual payment. The California Department of Business Oversight and the District Attorneys of four counties (collectively the People) challenge a number of petitioners’ business practices and in the underlying action seek civil penalties under Business and Professions Code sections 17200 and 17500, and Financial Code section 12105, subdivision (d), as well as injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement, the voiding of petitioners’ allegedly unlawful contracts, costs and attorney fees. In conjunction with their answer, petitioners demanded a jury trial, which the People successfully moved to strike.
