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.

At Lei Jiang Law Firm, we show our dedication to obtaining successful results for our clients by consistently winning in federal courts as well as in state courts.

With the news of our victory at the Eighth District Court of Appeals, we have just added another name to our list of satisfied clients!  The win not only represents a decided victory for our clients, but it also represents yet another victory by our firm before the Eighth District Court of Appeals.

The case, Cas No. CA 14101604, was a complicated matter involving two businesses and their owners and a long string of struggling.  Attorney Jiang secured a decided victory for our clients, the plaintiffs, after she argued before a three judge panel in December 2014.  The case was remanded back to the trial court for proceedings consistent with the Opinion of Eighth District Court of Appeals.

After a full day settlement negotiation conducted by federal judge Patricia Gaughan, the parties reached a settlement in Sardisco v. Direct Import Home Décor, et al. Case No. 1:13-CV-02701 in U.S. District Court for Northern District of Ohio. The remaining plaintiffs received full settlement for their damages.  Attorney Lei Jiang and her team achieved a great victory for the plaintiffs.

This case was filed on December 9, 2013.  Lei Jiang Law Firm successfully obtained class certification on June 18, 2014.  After several months of discovery, we discovered additional violations.  The battle was intense, but in the end justice prevailed.  All remaining Plaintiffs received 100% compensation.  This was a remarkable result.

Sardisco is our second federal FLSA class action in U.S. District Court for Northern District of Ohio.  The first FLSA class action, Chen v. Yellow Tail, Inc. et al. Case No. 5:12-CV-1588 was filed in July 2012.  We also successfully obtained class certification and proceeded into discovery.  The case was later settled in June 2014.  Honorable Judge John Adams presided this case.

FLSA class action is a special type of class action.  It has its own rules and details.  We chartered into this unfamiliar water in 2012 and quickly developed the knowledge and the skills necessary to effectuate justice, fairness, and equality.  The breadth and the depth of our legal practice is notable.  Attorneys at Lei Jiang Law Firm are young, quick, and most importantly passionate about the truth.
