Each matter handled by Andrew is dependent upon the unique facts and particular circumstances. Examples of successful matters handled by Andrew include:
- Andrew secured a decisive victory for a home improvement contractor in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Passaic County during a jury trial. Homeowners sued the firm’s client claiming poor workmanship and Consumer Fraud Act violations. Brach Eichler won involuntary dismissal of six of seven counts of the Complaint at the close of the plaintiffs’ case–leaving only a contract claim and the client’s counterclaim for payment. The homeowners then abandoned that claim and agreed to pay a substantial amount toward the contractor’s unpaid invoices.
- Andrew recently secured a summary lien discharge in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, after an elevator contractor filed a construction lien against our client’s Newark high-rise rental building. Brach Eichler moved to discharge the lien as baseless and willfully overstated—and within months, the court granted the Order without discovery or witness testimony. Contract claims between the parties remain pending.
- Andrew recently secured a jury trial victory in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Hudson County on behalf of a fire sprinkler contractor against the general contractor for a Bayonne self-storage facility. The jury rejected all counterclaims and awarded our client over $181,000 in contract damages. Together with counsel fees and interest pursuant to the New Jersey Prompt Payment Act, the firm’s client won a judgment of over $370,000.
- Andrew recently successfully removed a Manager and Member from an LLC in a summary manner based on his misconduct in the business of the LLC as well additional misconduct unrelated to the LLC which recently landed him in federal prison. Brach Eichler was also able to secure an order deeming his financial interest in the company sold back to our client for $0, all within two months. Samantha Karni then successfully represented the client in rapidly closing a refinance loan to get the single asset real estate LLC out of distress caused by the ousted Member-Manager.
- Andrew recently prevailed in a summary action, convincing the Superior Court of New Jersey, Hudson County, to compel the discharge of a construction lien filed by a siding subcontractor on our client’s multi-unit residential property. The subcontractor filed a lien on the property then filed suit to foreclose on that lien. In response, Brach Eichler filed an Order to Show Cause seeking discharge of the lien as both without basis and overstated pursuant to the New Jersey Construction Lien law. Within a few months, our client won an Order discharging the lien without any discovery or witness testimony.
