Lawyer Sued For Fraud: Verdict Dismissing the Case

An attorney sought Quadrino Schwartz to conduct a trial against him in which he was accused of engaging in a fraudulent real estate scheme. From the beginning, he had handled the case himself, but when it came to the trial, he wanted Richard Quadrino.

There were several experts, mortgage brokers, and other lawyers as witnesses. After evaluating the cast of characters and the nature of the case, Quadrino first decided that the case was better evaluated by a judge, rather than a jury. He successfully switched tactics, late in the game, and got the case to be heard by a judge.

After filing a persuasive legal brief prepared by the team members at Quadrino Schwartz, Mr. Quadrino set out to dismantle the case against his client. Through various techniques he was able to convince the judge that the entire case needed to be thrown out. The judge wrote an opinion that was featured on the front page of the New York Law Journal.
