Wells Fargo Loses . . . Big
There can be no dispute that consumers are under attack and that corporations and banks in particular have been given free reign to engage in all kinds of abusive tactics…and most often get away with the worst conduct imaginable….especially when it comes to foreclosures. But it’s of course not just foreclosures…it’s the whole range of abuses that banks and large corporations exact upon consumers…all across this country.
The important lesson told in this court battle is that consumers must fight back…and you can win!
Having said that, it is also very true that in Pinellas County, in Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit, the judges and court system in general work very hard to deliver justice fairly…..and they are not at all afraid to balance the scales and protect the rights of consumers….regardless if you’re a multi billion dollar behemoth like Wells Fargo.
The latest example of this powerful testament to a solid judicial system comes in a case where Weidnerlaw represented a consumer in a foreclosure trial….and we won that trial.
Long story short, Wells Fargo and their attorneys played games, we caught them…and the trial court granted a defense verdict in a foreclosure case!
Winning in a foreclosure trial is always a great feeling, but it’s important to note that in this part of the state…and in Pinellas County in particular…the judges have been fairly consistent in fairly applying the law…..a consumer represented by a qualified attorney has a fair chance.
Not willing to gracefully admit defeat (even though they engaged in shady tactics that led to defeat), Wells Fargo appealed that judgment. The briefs are all found below and lay out their misdeeds and our responses very clearly.
We had oral arguments before Florida’s Second District Court of Appeals on May 19, 2015 and while it’s not uncommon for appellate courts to take months or even years to release opinions….the appellate court issued an opinion in favor of our client in lightning fast time….a mere 8 days!
The ultra fast responsiveness of the appellate court in this case is just another powerful example of a solid judiciary working hard to do the right thing. (And in this case working overtime to do the right thing in a very brief period of time.
