Hyundai Motor America, ... Inc. ("HMA") Appellant and Cross Appellee sued my clients, Dan and David Hawley in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. I, with local counsel, represented Dan and David Hawley against Hyundia's allegations several causes of action including most prominently violation of Federal civil RICO and Nevada civil RICO statutes, breach of contract, fraud, alter ego, piercing corporate veil, breach of contract, and breach of oral contract. I worked with local counsel and we were successful at trial against all allegations raised and winning on a directed verdict. Hyundai appealed contending the trial court erred in not finding violation of RICO charges and dismissing the action. I represented Dan and David Hawley for the appeal. I opposed Hyundai's allegations that the trial court erred in the directed verdict. I also represented them on the cross appeal. Oral argument was held in San Francisco. I was successful in arguing the U.S. District Court's directed verdict was completely correct and appropriate given Hyundai's case against my clients.
