Sharon Collier prevailed on a motion to disqualify on behalf of client Costco. The plaintiff’s counsel, Downtown Los Angeles Law Group attorney, Anthony Werbin, had previously done defense work for Costco. Therefore, Sharon argued that his entire firm had a conflict of interest in prosecuting the case against Costco. This was a significant victory for the client because Mr. Werbin was not directly involved in this specific lawsuit, and it was the first time Costco had prevailed on such a motion in Northern California, involving a location for which Mr. Werbin had never previously done work. The result illustrated the impact of aggressive defense handling at the onset of litigation.
