In response to the plaintiff expediter's complaint in Federal court in the Eastern District of New York against our client, alleging that our client was liable for $500,000 in compensatory damages and an additional $2,000,000 in punitive damages for interfering with the plaintiff's client relationships, and poaching them for his own benefit, in accordance with the Federal judge's rules, we outlined for the court why plaintiff's complaint, even if everything they alleged was true, still fell short of the mark of what was needed to prove his tortious interference claims.
Shortly thereafter - and before we even had to fully brief the issue for the court - we were able to convince plaintiff's counsel to accept $5,000.00 in full settlement of their claims against our client - less than it would have cost our client to prepare a full-blown motion to dismiss.
In short, this was clearly a "win" for our clients.
