Ohn and his co-counsel were appointed as Class Counsel in a consumer class action on behalf of over 80,000 consumers across the United States of America and obtained final approval of a national class settlement with a total economic value of over $2 Million and injunctive relief.  In this regard, the California Superior Court Judge presiding over this complex class action litigation noted that Mr. Ohn displayed a high level of skill in presenting complicated and difficult legal issues and that his efforts in this action and the results obtained provided great value in the public interest.. When a union member's medical records were mailed, during a union election campaign, to thousands of his coworkers by a union employee in violation of his civil rights, including under the Americans With Disabilities Act, he turned to Mr. Ohn to seek justice on his behalf. Utilizing cutting edge, aggressive and efficient litigation strategies for the union member plaintiff, Mr. Ohn defeated the union employee defendant's Anti-SLAPP motion after obtaining leave of Court to take her deposition, obtain documents and subpoena third party records; exhausted the union member's administrative remedies on his claims against the defendant union entities; and ultimately obtained a tremendous settlement at a very early stage of litigation for the union member plaintiff that included a substantial monetary recovery and injunctive relief. Trials Digest called this a "notable" settlement and featured it on the cover of the June 25, 2012 issue.. When a wheelchair bound individual applied in person to rent an apartment in Los Angeles, the apartment manager repeatedly informed him that he did not meet the financial requirements to be able to rent an apartment there. Then, after the disabled individual would submit documentation indicating that he met the qualifications reflected in the rental application and the apartment’s written policies, the apartment manager would change the qualifications or add new requirements in a blatant effort to prevent the handicapped individual from renting an apartment. The disabled plaintiff came to Mr. Ohn to fight for his rights. Mr. Ohn filed a housing discrimination lawsuit for violation of the federal Fair Housing Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Unruh Civil Rights Act, and the Disabled Persons Act. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Ohn obtained a strong settlement on behalf of the handicapped plaintiff that included a monetary recovery and an agreement that the property owner and apartment management company defendants would change their policies and procedures and provide training to their employees regarding applicable housing discrimination and disability rights laws.. A California based company and its officers were sued by a former business partner and officer seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensatory damages for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and violation of California's Unfair Competition law. With the trial in this California civil action scheduled to begin in less than two months, the company and its officer retained Mr. Ohn as trial counsel. Using aggressive and effective motion and deposition practice, Mr. Ohn obtained a highly favorable settlement for its clients of essentially one thousand dollars on the eve of trial.. When a California corporation and its Chief Executive Officer were sued by a much larger competitor under, among other things, California's unfair competition laws seeking monetary compensation, injunctive relief and punitive damages, they turned to Mr. Ohn. After taking just one deposition and utilizing aggressive and effective motion practice in this California civil action, the Law Offices of Gerald S. Ohn successfully obtained complete summary judgment in favor of its clients.

Hello, you know how attorney's fees can really crush a company's bottom line. Well how do you know if you got what you paid for? Has a client questioned your fees? What are the prevailing market rates in your community? What options do you have to deal with a dispute over legal fees? Are the charges that your opponent has submited reasonable? I can answer these types of questions as I have reviewed over $2 billion dollars in bills (and work product) and have testified many times.. Traveling in Japan became an interest many years ago when I married a woman who was born and raised in Tokyo.  Tokyo folks are something like Manhattanites--in that they don't seem to really believe that anything outside their little area is REALLY worth visiting.  So we made a deal that one visit to Japan would be to Tokyo and the next visit would be to a place in Japan of MY choosing.  Because of this deal (and because my wife speaks Japanese) we got to go to almost all of the out of the way spots in the country.  We have many friends in Japan and I believe that I have a fairly good understanding of many aspects of the culture and I would welcome any sort of inquiry that has any connection to anything Japanese.. For my "pro-bono" work, I recently became a member of the Board of Directors of the Pasadena (CA) Humane Society and SPCA, which is a 100+ year old non-profit that handles the animal affairs for 7 cities.. My one real indulgence is my Porsche Carerra. 5 minutes in it makes me happy!
