Hoffman, et al. v. Sumner, et al.
In a high-stakes commercial litigation case, Frank Morrissey successfully defended a business owner in a lawsuit over control of three companies with reported annual revenues of over $90 million. In federal court, Morrissey represented the business owner who was sued by two businessmen who claimed to own 2/3 of the three companies. After extensive litigation, Judge Elaine Bucklo rejected defendants' claim to have a Buy-Sell agreement and granted summary judgment to the business owner.
