Michael Owens v. Dustin Tillman et al.
Case No. 30-2020-01152100-CU-CO-NJC
 
Thoits Law represents Michael Owens in litigation against defendants Dustin Tillman and Zeeshawn Zia, former controlling officers of Elite Aerospace Group, Inc. Mr. Owens sued Tillman and Zia for tortious interference with a contract between Owens and a third party purchaser of Owens’ stock in Elite by making false representations to the purchaser about Mr. Owens’ stock, by imposing impossible conditions on the sale of the stock, and by making false statements about Owens. The Thoits Law team brought a motion for summary judgment seeking the full $6,208,000 that would have been owed under the contract but for the defendants’ unlawful interference. The court granted the motion against the defendants in all respects.
 
The case is pending in the Superior Court of California for the County of Orange before Judge Donald F. Gaffney.
 
The Thoits Law team included John van Loben Sels, Brittany Nobles, and Soyeun Choi.
