In a case involving an auto dealership client, a purchaser of a new truck flooded the engine on the date he took possession of the vehicle. The purchaser then canceled the $20,000 down payment check given to the dealership as part of the purchase.

Colombo attorney Nicholas Ranke represented the dealership in a law suit filed to collect the canceled payment for breach of contract.

Mr. Ranke also represented the dealership in defending the counterclaims filed by the purchaser, who alleged fraud and breach of warranty against the dealership.

Mr. Ranke successfully exposed the baseless nature of the purchaser’s counterclaims and was able to secure both a money judgment in favor of the dealership and the dismissal of all the purchaser’s counterclaims in summary fashion, without the need for a trial. Mr. Ranke was also able to secure the reimbursement of the dealership’s attorney fees from the plaintiff.
