Jeff represented one of the Defendants, a renowned cybersecurity expert and owner of a multinational cybersecurity company. Plaintiff claimed Breach of Contract, Breach of Partnership, Breach of Duty as Partners, Contract Implied in Law, Contract Implied in Fact, Willful Refusal to Pay Wages, Negligent Misrepresentation, Intentionally Misrepresentation, and a host of other claims. After a 4-day trial, the court dismissed all claims against Jeff’s client.

A highly contentious divorce where Jeff represented the wife. The husband owned and operated a multi-million dollar telecommunication business, and throughout litigation, concealed and wasted vast amounts of community assets. Jeff moved the court to appoint a Receiver, who wound up the business. Jeff secured approximately $400,000 in sanctions against the husband prior to trial. The trial court awarded Jeff’s client all the assets and businesses concealed by the opposing party, in addition to attorney fees.

Plaintiffs were heirs of an estate that owns an extremely valuable multi-acre tract of land in Bellevue, WA, that borders land owned by Jeff’s clients. Plaintiffs sued Jeff’s clients for adverse possession of a road that ran on both properties. Both parties had partial legal ownership of the road, and for decades, both parties continually used that road to enter and exit their properties. However, Plaintiffs needed to adversely possess the road so they could develop between 8 – 10 residential homes on their land. If Plaintiffs won their lawsuit and adversely possessed the road, Jeff’s clients would have been blocked from using it and would have had to develop a separate road to access their home. Jeff successfully defeated Plaintiff’s lawsuit on summary judgment. Not only did the court dismiss Plaintiff’s lawsuit, but the court also granted Jeff’s clients a permanent easement over the road and awarded Jeff’s clients significant attorney fees.

Jeff’s client lived between China and the US. The opposing party filed for divorce in Washington. Jeff successfully argued improper venue and jurisdiction under the UCCJEA. In an unprecedented ruling, the Superior Court Judge dismissed the opposing party’s Washington divorce petition and ordered the parties to file their divorce in China.

Jeff represented the Plaintiff in an internet defamation case where the Defendants posted defamatory and untrue statements about the Plaintiff’s restaurant on a popular Chinese social medial website. During litigation, Jeff forced Defendants to remove their defamatory posts about his client and secured a successful financial settlement on their behalf.

Jeff represented multiple realtors in a lawsuit against their brokerage firm for withholding commissions. On the eve of trial, the parties appointed a mediator, and Jeff was able to reach a very successful settlement on behalf of his clients.

The Defendant was arrested for drinking while driving a moped. Arguing that a moped is not a “vehicle” for the purpose of the Washington Motor Vehicle Statute, in accordance with US v. Dotson, C.A. 9 (Wash.) 1994, 34 F.3d 882, 32 ALR 5th 875, the State dismissed the DUI charges against Jeff’s client.

The Petitioner, Bai, accused Zhang of committing domestic violence against her. At the initial Domestic Violence Hearing, Zhang was self-represented, and the court found that he committed Domestic Violence. As a result, the court entered a 2-year no-contact order against Zhang. Zhang hired Jeff to help him, and Jeff appealed the case before a Judge, using a process known as a Revision. Using only the evidence presented by Bai at her initial hearing, Jeff was able to overturn the Domestic Violence Order against Zhang and have it completely dismissed.
