After hotel owners had obtained an arbitration judgment of almost $800,000 against a general contractor, which had been represented by other counsel, the hotel owners filed a second suit, alleging fraudulent asset transfers and asking the Court to disregard corporate protections and impose the arbitration judgment on the contractor’s individual owner. The contractor’s individual owner retained Mr. Campbell to defend him. Mr. Campbell successfully argued in State Superior Court that any claim for fraudulent asset transfers belonged to the bankruptcy estate of the general contractor and that the state court therefore lacked jurisdiction. Mr. Campbell then convinced the bankruptcy trustee that the fraud claims were baseless, after which the hotel owners simply walked away from their claims against Mr. Campbell’s client.
