Law Group Wins Appeal on Behalf of Brokerage

 

Recently, one of our clients was sued by a locksmith, who was shot during an eviction where our client's agent was present.  The locksmith sued the owner, brokerage and all other involved parties.  The Law Group filed a demurrer on behalf of the brokerage on the grounds that the brokerage owed no duties to the locksmith.  The court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend.  The plaintiff appealed the decision to the California Appellate Court, First District.  The California Appellate Court recently issued a decision affirming that judgment in favor of the brokerage.
