New York, NY (PRWEB) March 29, 2010 -- The Law Office of Michael C. Rakower, P.C., www.rakowerlaw.com, achieves a victorious settlement in a case against Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy, LLP, the world's largest corporate immigration firm. The Law Office brought the action on behalf of a former hedge fund executive and U.K. citizen who claimed losses of several hundred thousand dollars due to Fragomen's nearly two-year failure to file his immigration papers despite repeated assurances that it had done so.
"The settlement puts a happy ending on a difficult experience," says Michael C. Rakower, a principal of the boutique litigation firm in New York that bears his name. "Our client was lied to. These lies affected his right to continue living and working in this country. He had the courage to fight back. We were proud to represent him in this action."
Fragomen, a global powerhouse with hundreds of lawyers and offices in 15 countries, did not capitulate immediately. The settlement occurred only after Fragomen's counsel challenged the action by moving to dismiss the case. "Fragomen probably thought we would walk away after they filed papers to dismiss the case. But that's not our character, nor was it the character of our client."
In opposing Fragomen's motion, the Law Office stressed the egregiousness of Fragomen's conduct and the damage it had caused. At a court hearing relating to the motion, the Law Office successfully attacked the defendant's perception of the case. "We had an answer for every one of their arguments, and after refuting each position asserted, we persistently insisted that the pattern of deception attributed to Fragomen was beyond the pale of reason."
Fragomen paid a cash settlement following the court hearing.
The case referenced in this press release was brought in New York State Supreme Court, New York County and bears Index No. 601628/09.
