Verdicts and Settlements:

• Outcome: I represented an amicus curiae (California Trustee's Association) before the United States Supreme Court (In re BFP, 114 S.Ct. 1757, (1994) on a then current issue, that is, whether a foreclosure sale could be considered a fraudulent conveyance under federal law.  The court agreed with our analysis that a foreclosure sale could not be considered a fraudulent conveyance and, thereupon, cannot be set aside., 1994
• Outcome: I represented the defendant, Standard Trust Deed Service, in a landmark case often cited for the propositions decided in a mixture of California and federal law.  Our trial brief and our appellate brief was extensively cited by the court.  The propositions are:  the bankruptcy automatic stay can be valid from the moment it is delivered from the bench, not just when it is entered in the bankruptcy docket; order for relief relates to the filing of the bankruptcy petition, not the order for relief from stay; the impact of Civil Code section 2924g; clarification of a trustee's duty under a deed of trust relating to foreclosure; the ability to collect attorneys' fees from non-signators on a contract;and other significant issues., 1996
• Outcome: We defeated an improper foreclosure claim. Description: The plaintiff borrower claimed that a deed of trust was invalid because the statute of limitations had expired under the "Ancient Mortgages and Deeds of Trust" Act. We defended the case and won on the grounds, among others, that a notice of default is not part of "the record" for determining whether a deed of trust becomes unenforceable under Civil Code section 880.20. The court of appeal agreed with our argument thereby exonerating the trustee under the deed of trust who had recorded a notice of default which stated the due date of the promissory note.  Our firm has also drafted and assisted in passing California legislation relating to this precise issue. , 2005
• Outcome: We successfully defeated a claim by the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)  (Reported at 366 B.R. 83). Description: After a three week trial, we successfully defeated a claim by the Royal Bank of Scotland through a United Kingdom bankruptcy trustee seeking to impose rights on a property in Pebble Beach owned by Mr. Cecconi's wife. The theory used was a purchase money resulting trust, an unusual theory not often litigated. The case was upheld on appeal to the United States District Court in the summer of 2009 and was upheld on appeal in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in February of 2011.  The benefit to our clients was in the multi-millions of dollars, totally defeating the trustee's claims., 2007
• Outcome: We defeated a $3.5M foreclosure set-aside claim. Description: My client was sued for advancing $3.5M to a senior lienholder to stop its foreclosure so my client could complete its own foreclosure. The plaintiff claimed that the advance was improper and thus constituted surplus proceeds for the benefit of plaintiff, a junior lienholder. In what was regarded by everyone (judge, opposing counsel and experts) involved in or who heard about the case as one of the most factually complex and legally challenging cases in this area, we defeated a motion for a writ of attachment filed against our client. Thereafter, we filed a motion for summary judgment on behalf of our client and defended one filed against our client. We were successful in defeating the plaintiffs' case and in winning on our motion for summary judgment. This win removed our client's exposure to a claim of over $3.5M dollars. , 2009
• Outcome: Defeated claim by debtor questioning my clients' note and deed of trust, seeking refund of payments made, seeking an accounting and seeking attorney's fees.  Defeated the matter on the second motion to dismiss with the debtor not refiling thereafter.  Obtained full award sought of over $35,000 in attorney's fees and costs for defending the matter.  Fees and hourly rate were determined reasonable by the court., 2010
• Outcome: We defeated a sixteen cause of action claim attacking a large note and deed of trust secured by an office building in Sausalito.  Description: The lawsuit's allegations included claimed violations of RESPA, TILA, Unfair Business Practices Act, HOEPA, and many other claims.  The office building was owned by an attorney who filed the action.  We first advised the client to complete the foreclosure sale, which was done successfully, and we obtained possession.  We then removed the matter from state court to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco.  Our Rule 12(b) motion to dismiss was successful.  We then filed a motion for attorneys fees in a complicated environment for the fees.  We were successful and were awarded "at least" $30,000 by the court.  We then petitioned to have a special master hear a request for additional fees.  The special master awarded us an additional $43,000 for a total of over $77,000, plus ordered the plaintiff to pay the special master's fees of $3,000., 2010
