Major Victory in Massachusetts Appeals Court
Alan recently scored a major victory for clients at the Massachusetts Appeals Court; the decision ended 11 years of litigation over an annuity policy that had been gifted to the clients by their brother. A family member plaintiff brought a lawsuit against Alan’s clients, alleging that they had engaged in undue influence to induce the gift of an annuity. The trial court agreed with Alan’s contention that the plaintiff did not have standing to sue, and recently the Massachusetts Appeals Court agreed with this decision. In addition to winning the case for his clients, the court also required the plaintiff to pay Alan’s clients all attorneys’ fees incurred in their defense.
