Since 2003, the National Law Journal has selected Lieff Cabraser as one of the top plaintiffs' law firms in the United States, recognizing our verdicts and settlements in addition to overall track records.
Lieff Cabraser has taken mutiple cases to trial over the past several years, including the following:
  • Lehman Brothers/First Alliance Mortgage Litigation. On June 16, 2003, a federal jury in California held Lehman Brothers, Inc., liable for knowingly assisting First Alliance Mortgage Corporation in committing fraud. First Alliance was accused of misrepresenting the true cost of home loans and of charging borrowers as much as 24% in loan origination and other fees. The jury found that First Alliance systematically defrauded borrowers, and that Lehman Brothers aided and abetted the fraudulent scheme. The verdict showed that the community will hold Wall Street responsible for knowingly serving as a financial backer to abusive lenders. The federal trial court has denied all post-trial motions. The case is on appeal to the federal court of appeals.
