Success Stories

Financial institution prevails at arbitration

A financial institution’s loss prevention policies were flagged as irregular proceeds from the EIDL program (part of the CARES Act legislation). The account holder sued the financial institution, claiming its business suffered a six-figure loss from the funds being frozen. BFV Attorneys Charles Van Horn and Carson Modrall successfully tried the case at arbitration, resulting in a complete defense ruling of the financial institution.

Business owner saves nearly $250,000 in claim from institutional lender

An institutional lender took action against our client, a business owner, on a promissory note and loan guarantees. Faced with a very difficult situation, Berman Fink Van Horn was successful in defeating the claim of almost $300,000 in attorney fees (a percentage of the debt) and instead limited the lender to recovering only its actual fees incurred, closer to $40,000. In the end, this saved the client close to $250,000.

Suing under the Fair Credit Reporting Act? Think again

A borrower claimed our client, a financial institution, improperly reported information on his credit and filed a lawsuit, claiming a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. After a rigorous process of carefully and thoroughly reviewing every credit report that was prepared by the financial institution, attorneys at Berman Fink Van Horn successfully demonstrated that the institution’s reporting was accurate and fully compliant with the law. The Court dismissed the action against our client.
