Even in the most contentious high-stakes cases as well as highly-emotional family disputes, we can help you succeed when it matters most, due to our strategic planning and dedication to our clients. This page contains detailed case studies showcasing our firm’s skillful legal innovation and commitment to clients in all circumstances.
Property Rights: Stopping Unfair Foreclosure
Our client is a Phoenix small business owner who was facing the imminent foreclosure of his commercial property due to an alleged default on his loan. The lender claimed the failure to make payments constituted a default, but upon further review of documents our team was able to demonstrate accounting errors and predatory loan terms that were in direct violation of Arizona consumer protection law. Alankang & Co. filed an emergency injunction with the court seeking to stop the impending foreclosure and concurrently filed a countersuit asserting unfair lending practices.
After several months of aggressive negotiation leading up to trial and evidential presentations in front of the judge, we were able to force the lender to settle when it became clear the outcome would not be favorable for them. Our client not only remained in possession of their property, they received a substantial modification in cleared debt. As a result, their business can thrive without the specter of foreclosure nearby. Even more important, this situation demonstrates our firm’s thorough understanding of real estate law as well as our willingness to protect our clients’ interests when required.
Business Law: Settlement Reach in Multi-Million Dollar Dispute
A medium-sized technology firm contacted Alankang & Co. when they were sued by an aggressive industry giant for alleged patent infringement. On the brink of a potentially devastating injunction, our attorneys quickly sifted through the opposing party’s accusations and revealed prior art which all but negated the fundamental patents at issue. Then we armed our client with a multi-pronged defensive plan based on technical expert testimony and executed high-pressure discovery tactics, attacking glaring inconsistencies in the plaintiff’s pleadings.
At the same time, we opened new channels with settlement negotiations, using our client’s counterclaims as bargaining leverage. In the end, the matter resolved out of litigation, avoiding injunctions while setting our client up for significant recovery – our opponent conceded to part with their millions to pay our client for lost business and litigation costs. From this win sprung continued innovation, as well as a highly regulated and equitable marketplace.
Divorce Law: Sensible Guidance Through a Difficult Divorce
Divorce is often one of life’s most challenging experiences, particularly for those who have children and substantial property holdings. Our client was embroiled in a contentious divorce with child custody issues, property assets to divide, and spousal support payments to address. Working with this client from day one, and providing compassionate, steady advice, Alankang & Co. put this client’s children first while assertively representing her interests. Enlisting child psychologists and forensic accountants, we advocated for appropriate custodial arrangements and full, transparent division of assets.
Through our skilled negotiation, the matter settled giving our client sole custody of the children, a fair division of property assets, and a reasonable spousal support agreement. We completed the process without dragging out an expensive court battle, thereby avoiding unnecessary stress for our client and her former partner. This case demonstrates our dedication to excellence – and compassion – in the area of family law.
Debt Recovery: From Writs to Orders to Money in Your Pocket
A regional supplier who had made repeated unsuccessful attempts to recover a large overdue debt from a defaulting corporate customer called on us for help when the debtor moved assets to overseas jurisdictions and then declared bankruptcy in order to avoid payment. Drawing on our extensive multi-jurisdictional expertise of both US and international legal practices, Alankang & Co. established where and how the assets had been transferred, through forensic accounting, and worked with partner legal teams in other jurisdictions to put a freeze on all such accounts.
We commenced bankruptcy proceedings to dispute the claims of the debtor and obtained a bankruptcy ruling for us to liquidate undisclosed assets. Our client has since recovered 95% of the sum outstanding, together with costs. The case highlights our persistence and thorough approach to recovering debts for clients as well as our reach across borders and out of our core jurisdiction.
Criminal Defence: The Exoneration of the Innocent
Our firm was hired to represent an innocent client accused of white-collar fraud in a high-profile case that received attention from local media. The prosecution’s case was based almost entirely on circumstantial evidence and unreliable financial analysis. Alankang & Co. put together a team of multidisciplinary professionals, including forensic accountants and technology experts, to discredit the prosecution’s theory of the case.
After multiple rounds of rigorous cross-examination and with the presentation of our new digital evidence, we proved that our client was innocent of all charges beyond a reasonable doubt. Our client was found not guilty on all counts. Ultimately, the team secured a full acquittal of their client and rehabilitated that person’s professional reputation. This is just another illustration of how an unwavering commitment to preparation as well as the defense the team mounted in this matter achieved a successful result.
Wills & Estates: Handing on the Family Wealth
A family with diversified holdings-multiple properties, business interests, investments-turned to us to help ensure the smooth, conflict-free passage of assets to their children. Through a wide-angle review of the estate, we were able to pinpoint exposures and opportunities to save taxes. On that foundation, we structured an integrated estate plan that spanned revocable trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and instructions on who gets what.
Our team coached the family through all the details, addressing sensitive topics with candor and compassion. When a duly executed will was challenged, we were able to resolve it quickly in mediation, saving conflict (and estate value). Now the legacy will go forward, thanks to our depth in estate administration and estate planning.
Intellectual Property: Protecting Innovations for Startups
A promising startup based in Phoenix, Arizona, sought our assistance at Alankang & Co. when a competitor began to use its proprietary software without paying for the right to do so. We quickly filed provisional patents and sent cease-and-desist letters. Our attorneys coordinated a parallel negotiation and litigation strategy. By applying our working knowledge of the intricacies of intellectual property law and clearly demonstrating the infringement by the competitor, we secured an injunction stopping the competitor from utilizing the software further.
The matter ended with a joint licensing agreement creating a new revenue stream and solidifying client’s rights to its new innovation. This case underscores the value of our swift intervention in the interests of powerful innovators and entrepreneurs.
Immigration Law: Bringing Families Together
Facing deportation for a technical visa overstay, a client in fear of being torn away from their U.S. citizen children approached Alankang & Co for help. We reviewed the case and found procedural mistakes by the Department of Homeland Security in the initial decision to initiate proceedings. We filed an appeal and presented evidence of the strong ties in the community that would be destroyed by the separation from their children in the potential deportation.
Through aggressive representation and persuasive advocacy, the deportation order was withdrawn and permanent residency was granted. The family stayed together, and our client was granted a right to remain pursuant to U.S. laws. This case is an example of our commitment to justice and family unity as a central tenet of immigration advocacy.
