Disputes Involving Claims of Fraud and False Representation
This area of practice often involves individuals or companies which have entered into agreements or legal relationships based on alleged false statements. Frequently at issue in such cases are transfers of real estate or business interests or gifts of property. Peter Schillinger and Lori Finsterwald have achieved a reputation for obtaining excellent results in complex fraud and misrepresentation cases. Our clients in these disputes are real estate purchasers, real estate investors, estates, estate beneficiaries, businesses, banks, families and professionals.
Forgery Lawsuits
We have also handled many cases involving documents containing alleged forgeries (fake or phony signatures). Schillinger & Finsterwald has litigated forgery claims in partnership disputes, guardianship proceedings, mortgage foreclosure cases, and real estate and contract cases. When there is a claim of forgery, we regularly work with forensic experts for the evaluation of handwriting and signatures on challenged business agreements, partnership agreements, guarantees, corporate documents, LLC instruments, mortgages and deeds. In addition, we have defended parties in cases where there were false allegations of forgery. In one matter, we successfully defended a company by proving that the plaintiff had actually signed multiple agreements, including a mortgage, which she falsely claimed were forged.
Incompetence, Undue Influence and Breach of Fiduciary Duty
At Schillinger & Finsterwald, we have broad experience handling cases involving allegations of breaches of duty by a person in a legally recognized position of trust. When such person fails to act in accordance with his legal obligations, a claim of breach of fiduciary duty may arise. When a person in a position of trust wrongfully manipulates the affairs of another person, the law may provide a basis for compensation to the wronged party. When a person who lacks the mental capacity to understand or protect his interests signs an agreement, a deed, a will or other instrument, the signed document may be challenged in court. In these types of cases, Schillinger & Finsterwald has represented both plaintiffs and defendants in the courts of New York.
