Schein & Cai LLP

February 2, 2009
Schein & Cai LLP represented its client, the Hohte Misraq Kidest Kidanemeheret Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church, in a highly contentious dispute with three of its former members regarding the legal ownership of the Church’s bank funds and personal properties, including sacred religious artifacts. A multi-day trial of the matter took place before the Santa Clara Superior Court. After considering the evidence and testimony presented by the parties, the Court entered judgment in favor of the Church, and ordered that the bank funds and personal property be immediately returned to the Church. The Court commended Schein & Cai LLP for its strong advocacy on behalf of its client.
