The Shrayer Law Firm litigated a long jury trial and pierced the corporate veil of a nefarious corporation.
in March 2020, in Broward County, Florida, Attorney Shrayer persuaded jurors that corporate formalities were not followed and the individual defendant was actually an alter-ego of the corporation. The Court trebled the damage award for the Plaintiff to $624,470.50. Piercing the corporate veil ensures that a Defendant cannot hide money simply by declaring a corporation bankrupt and a Plaintiff can get at the Defendant’s personal money. The jury unanimously returned a guilty verdict on all counts argued by Attorney Shrayer for (1) Fraudulent Misrepresentation and (2) violation of the Florida Deceptive Unfair Practices Act (FDUPTA).
The Shrayer Law Firm received a one million dollar settlement
in 2020, in a case where due to negligent hiring and retention practices that Defendant’s employee hit Plaintiff with a fork lift resulting in various injuries to the Plaintiff. Despite video footage showing that the Plaintiff was still able to work, Attorney Shrayer was able to negotiate a deal pre-trial that was the best case scenario for the Plaintiff.
The firm received one million eight hundred and forty two seven hundred and fifty thousand dollar ($1,842,750.00) judgment in federal court in the Southern District of Florida against a California Corporation
in 2015 for patent infringement after the award was trebled due to willful infringement. A permanent injunction was also issued, which prevented the Defendants from ever again engaging in the infringing conduct. Attorney Shrayer worked with United States Customs and Border Protection and Homeland Security Investigations to have counterfeit products seized upon their importation into the United States. Subsequently, the firm prosecuted the importer in United States District Court in the Eastern District of Michigan and was awarded a $600,000.00 judgment and a permanent injunction on behalf of its clients against the importer. Subsequently, Homeland Security Investigations raided a warehouse in Washington State based in part on leads provided by Attorney Shrayer. The counterfeit products were seized and arrest warrants are now pending.
