After a two-week trial, a Los Angeles County Superior Court jury returned a verdict entirely in favor of Slater Law Group & Lieberman LLP’s client, Bay Boat Rentals Alamitos Bay, Inc., affectionately known as Pelican Joe’s. Attorneys Jonathan Hersey and Neil Cooper represented Pelican Joe’s in the lawsuit against two former managers who defrauded the company, embezzled money and property, and breached their fiduciary duties. The jury’s decision for Pelican Joe’s included a 6-figure monetary award and punitive damages, along with a flat rejection of the defendants’ $1.4 million counterclaims that they were wrongfully terminated, slandered, and denied an ownership share of the company.
