Focus Areas

Experience

Served on an Epstein Becker Green team that secured the dismissal of a class action lawsuit on behalf of a dietary supplement company in the Central District of California. Robert and the team successfully argued that the plaintiffs’ claims were an improper end-run around the primary jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration and its authority to regulate dietary supplements under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
Obtained an ex parte restraining order in the District of New Jersey as part of an Epstein Becker Green team that sought to stop an ongoing trademark infringement and fraud scheme on behalf of a large corporate client. The defendants had misappropriated our client’s well-recognized trademark and passed themselves off as being affiliated with our client’s brand to secure financing for fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities.
Successfully defended a restaurant business against its landlord’s efforts to obtain a six-figure final judgment by default in the Superior Court of New Jersey. Robert and the Epstein Becker Green team argued that the landlord had failed to establish that it had properly served our client with the original lawsuit papers and that the circumstances attendant to COVID-19 warranted denying the landlord’s request.
Served on an Epstein Becker Green team that secured the eviction of a commercial holdover tenant. Robert and the team successfully used the Supreme Court of New Jersey’s temporary Order to Show Cause mechanism allowing for commercial evictions in emergent circumstances during what was otherwise a moratorium on evictions and a suspension of landlord/tenant trials in New Jersey following an executive order by the governor.
