Below are summaries of cases handled by this office: 

Arlington v. Intereagle Tech, Inc.*
Intereagle failed to pay several of its executive employees back wages and benefits.  It also misappropriated money that the employees invested in the company. The employees, collectively, retained the law firm of Peter M. Agulnick, P.C., to commence a lawsuit.  The result:  Well before trial, we obtained a settlement exceeding a quarter-million dollars for our clients.

Westworth v. Harris-Lite Enterprises, Inc.*
Our firm represented two plaintiffs who obtained a judgment in a different state against Harris-Lite Enterprises.  Having no luck enforcing their judgment in their home state, the judgment creditors retained the law firm of Peter M. Agulnick, P.C. to enforce the judgment in New York State.  After domesticating the judgment in New York, research unearthed that a well-known multi-national corporation periodically paid Harris-Lite large sums of money, which quickly "disappeared" after being sent.  In response, we served a restraining notice  and information subpoena on the multi-national corporation thereby freezing the  payments to Harris-Lite.  The result: Harris-Lite quickly agreed to a six-figure settlement.

Chong v. Arisbrown Spa & Nails, Inc.*
Our office represented a businessman defrauded out of an investment in a local nail-salon business.  The result:  After extensive litigation -- and fear of losing a summary judgment motion -- the defendants paid our client a settlement in excess of six-figures.  Interestingly, the settlement our client obtained was actually greater than the amount of money out of which he had been defrauded.

Liberty Insurance Company v. Jane Brown*
Liberty Insurance sued its insurance policy holder Jane Brown, whom we defended.  Liberty Insurance's lawsuit sought the return of a large insurance payment made to its insured, Ms. Brown, after a fire caused damage to her house.  Liberty Insurance claimed that our client committed arson.  The result:  Before trial, the court granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the entire lawsuit against Ms. Brown.
