Examples of thinking "Outside the Box" to obtain favorable results:

• OCIE v. SCS, Inc., United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. Represented manufacturer of ocean cargo containers against purchaser who failed to pay OCIE. After convincing U.S. District Court that claim fell under Federal Admiralty Rules, obtained a Rule D arrest warrant for containers. Recognizing that seizing over 2500 ocean containers throughout the world was a logistical nightmare and unfair to innocent owners of goods within containers, devised a plan to "arrest" (i.e. seize) lease proceeds of containers directly paid from SCS' customers. The resulting effect of the lease attachment cut off virtually all cash flow to SCS and forced settlement of $3.2m.
• Jacobs v. Schlarrman, San Diego Superior Court Case. Represented purchaser of a private aircraft. After the sale, the former owner converted airplane claiming the broker retained too much of the commission. Seller demanded that Mr. Jacobs pay the disputed amount. Mr. Hershorin obtained a prejudgment writ of possession and with the help of the Sheriff's department, seized the aircraft. Mr. Hershorin also located the former corporate pilot, who under oath admitted that (i) the seller failed to reveal a known crack in the wing spar (making aircraft unsafe to fly), (ii) in purchasing and financing airplane, the seller conspired to defraud (a) the government over sales tax, (b) the financing company from whom he obtained a loan, and (c) a non-profit charity from whom he purchased the aircraft. In light of defendant's significant net worth and strong likelihood of punitive damages, obtained a settlement of nearly four times (4x) the purchase price.

Represented lead investor and founder of Carl's Jr. Hamburger chain in real estate investment dispute with prior management of large scale development project.
