Garcia Hong Law prevailed on an anti-SLAPP motion for its client in San Diego this week. We were successful in eliminating the entire case against our client because we proved that our client had probable cause and relied on the advice of her attorneys to bring an earlier lawsuit for an ownership interest in property. Our client may be entitled to her reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
A “SLAPP” lawsuit, which stands for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, is a retaliatory civil lawsuit where the alleged injury is the result of petitioning or free speech activities. To protect petitioning and free speech, an "anti-SLAPP" motion allows the court to weed out cases that lack merit.
Garcia Hong Law has successfully handled anti-SLAPP motions for clients and lawyers involving malicious prosecution, free speech, and other public issues.
