Jeff Lewis Successfully Defends Anti-SLAPP Victory on Appeal

On January 4, 2012, the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three issued its opinion in the case of Rothman v. Masson. Mr. Lewis represented attorney Richard Masson in this appeal from Masson’s successful anti-SLAPP motion. The Court of Appeal found that Masson had probable cause as a matter of law to file a prior action against attorney Larry Rothman and the lawsuit against Masson for malicious prosecution was properly dismissed as a SLAPP.
