Areas of Practice — Bosko, P.C.

Areas of Practice

Fraud

Fraud cases are a big deal. As a plaintiff, alleging fraud means you were tricked and taken advantage of in a very serious way, often devastating to your financial position, and sometimes detrimental to your well being as an individual or existence as a company. As a defendant, facing fraud allegations means not only grappling with significant financial liability, but also protecting your reputation and good will. Fraud is not usually considered a specialty—or even a practice area. But Mr. Bosko has extensive experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants in large and small fraud cases. He has expertise in the nuances of what is required to prove (or disprove) a fraud claim under both California and New York law. He also litigates fraud cases with a deep understanding of the personal relationships involved and the practical needs of the parties.

Employment

Getting fired or mistreated on the job presents a myriad of challenges—financial, legal, and personal. It is important to find a lawyer who can assist you in navigating these potential minefields. Mr. Bosko routinely represents individuals who have been wrongfully terminated or demoted. In the past, he has represented employers, so he knows their thought process about these cases and therefore how to maximize the chances for a favorable outcome on the plaintiff's side. And he also knows how to set expectations, in order to remove the elements of surprise and uncertainty that often come with litigation for those who are not experienced with it. Mr. Bosko represents victims of all manners of employer misconduct, including retaliation for lawful activities or whistleblowing, as well as harassment or hostile work environment based on race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, marital status, sex, age, or sexual orientation.

Real Estate

Mr. Bosko has lived most of his life in two of the most challenging and expensive real estate markets in the world—New York City and Los Angeles. Where everything from a small apartment to a commercial business building comes at a comparatively astronomical price, the environment is ripe for those who seek to make a quick buck by taking advantage of others. Mr. Bosko has litigated real estate cases ranging from small non-disclosures in residential sales to large-scale fraud in eight-figure commercial purchases.

Small Business
Disputes

Mr. Bosko has been litigating business disputes of all varieties since he started practicing. These include disputes between partners, officers, or employees of companies over written or oral contracts, dissolution, allocation of funds, allegations of malfeasance or misappropriation, accountings, false promises, and interference with business relationships.

Mediation

Litigation is expensive. Settling a case without incurring the financial, personal and time investment of going to trial can be an excellent result. Mr. Bosko has mediated numerous cases, and repeatedly achieved favorable results for his clients. He is familiar with several of the mediators and mediation associations in the Los Angeles area, and knows how to position a case to maximize the potential for settlement at mediation.

Lender Liability

Mr. Bosko has experience litigating a variety of cases both for and against major commercial banks. Types of cases include commercial and residential wrongful foreclosure, dual tracking, fraud, actions to quiet title, and suits on commercial paper like notes and letters of credit. The law in this area is often nuanced and whom you choose to represent you is especially important.

Securities

The aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis involved securities litigation on an unprecedented scale. Mr. Bosko represented institutional investors as plaintiffs against the world’s largest and wealthiest investment banks in some of the most significant and noteworthy cases of the early 2010s. Several of these cases involved the 1933 Securities Act, and nearly all of them involved fraud through misrepresentation or non-disclosure. In these cases, defendants generally have substantial resources available to them. It is critical, as a plaintiff, to understand the different kinds of favorable precedent that has developed over the past decade in different jurisdictions and use it to your advantage.
