Attorneys Robin Mashal, Peter Y. Hong, and associated attorney Carlos Lloreda, Jr., took the case through an eight-day jury trial. After three days of deliberations, on August 13, 2010, the jury returned a verdict for compensatory damages of $1,500,000, as well as punitive damages for fraud and breach of director’s fiduciary duties against various defendants in the sum of $90,000. On August 30, 2010, the honorable judge Mark V. Mooney, sitting in Department 68 of the Los Angeles Superior Court signed a judgment based on the verdict in the jury trial.
Hong & Mashal LLP initiated this lawsuit on behalf of plaintiff on May 22, 2009. Defendants were very uncooperative in the action and Plaintiff's attorneys had to bring several motions to compel proper responses to discovery requests.
