Bench Trial Verdict

A victory 6 years in the making...

A dispute over the rights to one of the most successful and visible cannabis dispensaries in Los Angeles, Erba Pico which raged in the courts for 6 years finally resulted in a an unequivocal victory for the Afif Law Group clients who held rights to the license.  In this case, the adversaries claimed contractual rights with the original license holder, and claimed entitlement to all the profits and goodwill our clients had generated for years, all based on a signed contract with the license holder.  During trial, our attorneys showed the court that the contract was illegal, unenforceable, and in fact the result of a variety of improvident provisions which had not been performed and legally could not be performed.  The result was the denial of claims and any damages in the case in our client’s favor and against the Plaintiffs.
