Representative Matter

  • Successfully opposed a preliminary injunction in Essex County Superior Court, Massachusetts involving the foreclosure of a million dollar property, on behalf of financial institution. In response to the mortgagor's last-minute tactics, we drafted a substantial opposition overnight and argued the opposition before the court in an emergency hearing. The court advised counsel for the Mortgagor that its already high burden was made nearly insurmountable by the quality of the Firm’s submissions. The court then declined to issue the preliminary injunction and ordered the mortgagor to produce evidence of the funds’ origin or the foreclosure would be permitted to go forward.
