Child Support
Th 471, our attorneys successfully represented attorneys after a former wife brought an action against her former husband and the attorneys who represented him in another action, alleging that they attempted to evade a child support judgment against the former husband through the modification of an estate plan. Our attorneys, on behalf of the former husbandâ€™s attorneys, filed a special motion to strike under the anti-SLAPP statute. The trial court granted the motions and awarded attorneysâ€™ fees. In affirming the trial courtâ€™s order, the Court of Appeal held that the attorneyâ€™s actions in lodging a will with the probate court, defending the husband in litigation, and the will revision itself were protected activity for the purposes of the anti-SLAPP motion.

Adoption

Fraud
Wire fraud and cyber theft is everyoneâ€™s nightmare occurrence. And, it is all too common in California, especially in the real estate industry given the high price of real estate. The common scheme is that the buyer receives an email that purports to be from a broker or an escrow agent with wiring instructions. Believing the instructions to be genuine, the buyer wires the money. And, just like that, the money is gone. The buyer soon finds out that the email was a spoof. The immediate question is: Who is responsible? Of course, the person orchestrating the scheme if you can find them and your money. But also, depending on the circumstance, it could be, among others, the buyer, the buyerâ€™s agent, the escrow officer, the bank receiving the wiring instructions, or the bank receiving the wired money.
Theft
Embezzlement
While no one enters into a business as a partner or shareholder with the expectation of a problem, disputes do arise. Often, these disputes require the partners or shareholders to part ways on less-than-friendly terms. Examples of business disputes include: breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, embezzlement, dissolution, diversion of assets, usurpation of corporate opportunities, and trade secret misappropriation.
Murder
During law school, Claire worked at the San Diego District Attorneyâ€™s Office in the Family Protection Division, prosecuting crimes of murder, domestic violence, stalking, crimes against children, and elder abuse. Claire has interned for judges, drafting bench memos and opinions for trials and appeals. Claire also interned at the Institute for Justice as a Law Clerk and Policy Fellow, where she learned to combine cutting-edge litigation, sophisticated media relations, and community organizing to fight for people denied their constitutional rights.
Restraining Order
The San Jose, California business attorneys at Gates Eisenhart Dawson represent all manner of business entities in third party disputes including breach of contract, fraud, Uniform Fraudulent Transfers Act, Uniform Trade Secrets Act, tortious interference, and Unfair Business Practices â€” just to name a few. Our attorneys also represent shareholders, partners and limited liability company members in entity dissolution actions, as well as intra-owner disputes including claims for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and fraud. Our successes include obtaining interim remedies such as attachment orders, temporary restraining orders, and preliminary injunctive relief, as well as disposing of matters on summary judgment, thus avoiding the risk of trial.

We have handled literally hundreds of landlord-tenant claims, winning very impressive results for our clients.
Property Damage
Businesses and individuals rely on insurance coverage to handle a large variety of risks, including lawsuits and property damage. Your insurance policy (the contract) provides that in exchange for the payment of certain amounts, the insurance company will provide you with coverage and pay valid claims. Yet, insurance is also a business. Often, insurance companies improperly deny, limit, or mishandle claims for their own profit. Policyholders are significantly at financial risk when their insurance companies fail to deliver on their contractual obligations. Unfortunately, many people just accept the insurance companyâ€™s denial of a claim. The claim and the policy should be evaluated to determine whether the denial was proper and the claim handling was appropriate.

Personal Injury
Elder abuse is different from the standard personal injury case. Because of that fact, it is important for a victim of financial elder abuse to retain an attorney with the extensive knowledge and experience in litigating these issues. At GED, our attorneys meet this threshold. We take pride in our vigorous advocacy on behalf of victims of elder abuse.
Disability Discrimination
Assumed representation of a disability discrimination plaintiffâ€™s case against a well-known employer. Previous counsel withdrew from the case when the client thought a $15k settlement was too low. After vigorous litigation, including fighting back the employerâ€™s summary judgment motion and more, we obtained a $400k settlement for our client.
