David M. Morrow (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and James A. Stankowski (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) successfully defended a design firm and its owner in a malpractice and payment dispute. The plaintiff, a former client, asserted professional negligence, fraud and unfair business practices in connection with our client’s design of a cannabis dispensary in Hollywood, California. The plaintiff alleged that our client misrepresented its licensing and qualifications, and rendered deficient plans, causing the dispensary owners costly delays and replacement expenses. After two years of litigation, David and Jim obtained an order imposing issue and evidence sanctions against the plaintiff. Based on the order, David and Jim prevailed on a subsequent Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, securing a judgment in the client’s favor and dismissal of the case with prejudice.
