Debt settlement

FNMA v. Jones

Sep 15, 2015

OUTCOME: Successfully resolved

Client and his business partner purchased a 300 + unit apartment complex. They both lacked the experience and financial capital required for success. The business floundered and FNMA sued for the app ... ointment of a receiver and foreclosure on their 1.5 million dollar mortgage. The court ordered the appointment of a receiver and gave judgment to FNMA for $1,500,000.00 against both owners. FNMA "sold" the debt to a private party. After 6 months of negotiations and based on a complete understanding of the client's financial picture and truthful and frank discussions with the attorney for the creditor, the debt was resolved for a one time payment of $20,000.00, a 1.333% settlement. Please note that the client was 1099'd for the difference and required the services of a knowledgeable CPA to avoid the income tax consequences of the $1,480,000.00 of unpaid debt.

Criminal defense

Ohio v. Spratz

Feb 12, 1987

OUTCOME: Indictment dismissed, defendant discharged

I appeared in this matter on an of counsel basis. Defendant was indicted for aggravated murder. Her attorney asked me to review the file to see if I could find a defense. I observed the date she was ... indicted and today's date and made a time chart. The law gives defendants a right to a speedy trial. My time chart showed that that day was 3 days beyond the time limit permitted by law. I prepared a Motion to Dismiss based on a violation of my client's Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. The Court granted the motion, dismissed the indictment and discharged the client from custory.

Criminal defense

Ohio v. Reiss

Jan 01, 1981

OUTCOME: Defendant's conviction was reversed and the case remanded back to the trial court.

Defendant was caught stealing a cheap radio out of a car. He was indicted for grand theft because, as the indictment said, he had previously plead guilty to a theft offense. I represented defendant o ... n appeal. The basis of the appeal was a defectively worded indictment. The statute requires that the defendant have been previously convicted of a prior theft offense. The statutory precision is based on the notion that a court does not have to accept a plea of guilty.
