Our firm recently filed a successful motion (motion for stay of removal) with the Sixth Circuit in a case Yu v. Lynch, U.S. Attorney General, Case No. 15-3516. Our motion was thorough in facts and accurate in law.  We also filed all of the necessary supporting documents.  As a result of our motion, the office of U.S. Attorney General conceded to our position and filed a non-opposition to our motion.

The attorneys at our firm are not intimidated by the size of the opponent and the endless resources that the opponent seems to possess.  We believe in the law, in facts, and most importantly, in justice.

This was an immigration case.  Its procedural history also indicated the complexity of this case.  The case had been appealed twice to the Board of Immigration Appeals. Lei Jiang Law Firm was retained for the appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, the 2nd highest court in the nation.

Lei Jiang Law Firm is foremost a business and transactional law firm. We routinely close various business deals for our clients.  Most of our deals involve business, real estate, and intellectual property.  A sizable portion of our work involves international deals.  Because of the confidential nature of the deals that we work on, we seldom comment on them.

Recently our firm, working with an out-of-state firm, completed a $15 million dollar merger and acquisition (M&A) deal in Ohio.  This was a private deal involving international parties. Although complex, the closing was on target and relatively smooth.  There were no major issues in the post-merger integration. All of the attorneys involved performed their jobs exceptionally well.

Our clients celebrated victories on June 4, 2015 when we successfully negotiated plea agreements allowing our clients to avoid any type of penalty including jail time and fines.  The cases, State of Ohio v. Chen and State of Ohio v. Xue, Case Nos. B 1501866-A and B 1501866-B were both before the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas in Cincinnati.  Both of our clients were charged with three separate felonies, and each faced at least 18 months in jail and fines of $15,000 if convicted.

We fought hard for our clients from the very beginning by carefully studying the facts, prosecution’s evidence, and the strengths and the weaknesses of both sides.  Our diligence paid off. We were able to explain the cases clearly to the Judge and to negotiate effectively with the prosecutor.  In the end, the deal allowed our clients to plead guilty to only one misdemeanor each in exchange for the prosecution’s dismissal of their six felony charges.  Our clients did not even have to pay any fines or court costs!

At Lei Jiang Law Firm, we are passionate about justice, our work, and our responsibility to our clients.  We work tirelessly to do the right thing and to protect our clients’ interests.  Regardless of whether yours is a criminal or civil case, we are driven to get you the best results that you deserve.

On May 7, 2015, Federal Judge John R. Adams of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District granted our motion for a preliminary injunction freezing the assets of a corporate defendant.  In this case, Jieyi Electronics Co., Ltd. et al. v. Case Industries, Inc., et al. Case No. 5:14-CV-1996, we represented two manufacturers who sued their former customer, Case Industries, Inc. and its owners.  Our clients sought to recover over $1.3 million from defendants.  During the lawsuit, we motioned the court to freeze corporate defendant’s bank account and to stop the spending of corporate money by individual defendants.  Based on sufficient evidence, pertinent legal authorities, and convincing arguments, the court granted our motion.

Preliminary injunctions are called “extraordinary remedy.” They are very difficult to apply and rarely granted by courts.  In this case, our attorneys reviewed over a thousand pages of financial documents, carefully followed the money, timely detected all irregularities, prepared a thorough brief and reply, and argued convincingly in the court why this “extraordinary remedy” was the only remedy to reach the just result.  In the end, our efforts paid off, and while the case is not over, our clients now have a much better chance of recovering after the trial.

Excellence is our goal in every case we handle, big or small, prosecution or defense, in federal courts or in state courts.  Top quality and excellent service is our promise.  So, if you need legal service, please contact us. The initial consultation is free.

On Thursday May 7, 2015, Federal Judge James Gwin of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio granted our motion for default judgment against two corporate defendants.  The case, Peiping Ji, et al. v. CA Condo Management, LLC, et al. Case No. 14-CV-2575, was a complex case involving breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud perpetrated by two real estate developers and their companies.  Clients were ten individual investors who bought the real estate from Defendants who misrepresented the facts.

Courts are generally hesitant to grant default judgment, and they tend to use this “extraordinary remedy” only in very rare cases.  But in this case, our attention to details and hard work paid off, and the court granted our motion against two real estate companies.  The case will continue in the district court.

We are passionate about our work and totally focused on the result. If you need top top-quality legal service, please contact us for a free consultation.

On Monday, April 20, 2015, we succeeded at defending our client’s interests in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Columbus, Ohio.  The case, Sherwin-Williams Company v. Jennie C. Li, et al,. No. 15 CV 001852, was an intellectual property suit brought by Sherwin-Williams, the third largest paint retailer in the country, against our client and two others.  Sherwin-Williams alleged four causes of action against our client: trademark infringement, deceptive trade practices, unfair competition, and tortious interference with a prospective business relationship.

From the very beginning, we thoroughly gathered all evidence, carefully reviewed all documents, and conducted extensive legal research. As a result we were able to prepare a motion with complete facts and in-depth legal analysis to dismiss all of Sherwin-Williams’ claims. Our arguments were so persuasive, that before the judge could even rule on our motion, Sherwin-Williams voluntarily dismissed all of its claims against our client without any liability attached!  Our swift and effective work thus saved our client time, money, and the stress of litigation.

At Lei Jiang Law Firm, we deliver the results.  Whether you are a Plaintiff (sues others) or Defendant (being sued by others), we provide the same quality service.  Our ambition is to always realize yours!

On Friday, April 24, 2015, we achieved a decided triumph in one of the nation’s second highest courts in Case No. 14-3951, A Metal Source, LLC v. All Metal Sales, Inc., et al. The appeal was from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.  The case was a complex business litigation involving trademark infringement, cybersquatting, and business disputes. As a result of our team’s thorough and zealous advocacy, Circuit Judges Suhrheinrich, Batchelder, and Clay unanimously reversed the District Court’s decision. The client’s case has been remanded to the District Court for further proceedings consistent with the Sixth Circuit’s opinion.

Lei Jiang Law Firm’s victory in this case is yet another example of the quality work that firm’s attorneys produce in all litigation matters, from representation at trial through appeals.
