Licensure

At a recent networking function, Mr. Soto met a fellow attorney with a problem. He was two weeks out from trial, settlement talks with the Defendants had collapsed and he needed someone to do a quick and dirty trial prep and try the case which involved a failed joint venture real estate deal with counts for Negligence, Fraud and, wait for it, Securities Fraud.

The client eventually signed the firm’s engagement agreement the Wednesday evening before trial. With only Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to prepare, Mr. Soto walked into Court and gave his opening statement Monday morning.

How’d it turn out? Liability against the Defendants on all Counts, including Securities Fraud! The client not only received an award for the entirety of their investment but also obtained an additional judgment for interest from the date of the investment, costs and all attorney fees. Not bad for a week’s worth of work. 

Mr. Soto’s ability to quickly identify the “story” of the case and boil down the relevant evidence into a persuasive trial strategy is what sets him apart. Although he considers his main practice area trial litigation, he has a particular back ground in business and real estate. 

Think about what he can do for you. Just try to give him more than a week…
