Work highlights

Won a complete defence decision for a mortgage loan servicer from the San Francisco Superior Court against claims it had negligently handled a loan modification application. The judge found the client to not owe a duty of care to the plaintiff, and even if it had, there was no evidence it had breached this duty.
