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.

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.

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.
