The Bastards Aren't Immune to Our Legal System...$1,625,000 settlement

I pulled the following from the Endeman Lincoln Turek & Heater website.  Goes to show you that the Tatum Kaplan bullies can be beaten.

Tatum-Kaplan Financial Group v. Ryan Davis
Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2009-00121487-CU-NP-CXC
[Related Case No. 30-2008-00112959-CU-BC-CXC]
The residents of the Orange Mobilehome Park located in Orange County won a significant battle in their lawsuit against the Park owner. Shortly after the residents filed suit over the substandard conditions at the mobilehome Park, the Park owner retaliated by suing one of the plaintiffs, Ryan Davis, for Malicious Prosecution. We represented plaintiff Ryan Davis. The Orange County Superior Court held the Malicious Prosecution lawsuit was a SLAPP Suit (Strategic Litigation Against Plaintiff), threw the case out of court and awarded our client his attorney fees and cost which totaled $50,000, when the case settled.


Orange Mobile Home Park
Irma Aguila, et al. v. Orangewood Investments, L.P.
Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2008-00112959-CU-BC-CJC
The residents of the Orange Mobile Home Park settled this lawsuit against their Park owner for $1,625,000. The Park owner did not own the land upon which the Park was built but instead had a contract with the land owner granting him the right to operate the Park. This contract was due to expire and for the last several years the Park owner refused to maintain the Park. As a result, the residents started having problems with the Park's sewer and electrical utilities. The sewer would back up and flow into residents' yards and down the street. The electrical system did not provide adequate power, causing blackouts and brownouts. The residents banded together and sued the Park owner over these conditions. Endeman Lincoln Turek & Heater represented them. The case settled for $1,625,000 at the time the contract to operate the Park expired. The land owner is now in the process of rehabbing the entire Park. This was a great result, the residents received a very significant amount of money and the Park will be completely rehabilitated.
