Barbershop Ownership Dispute: Ayala Secures Full Defense Verdict for Client in Miami

Ayala is proud to announce that it has obtained a full defense verdict in a dispute involving the ownership of a Little Havana barbershop in Miami.

The case involved allegations by the plaintiff that Ayala’s client (the defendant) had “stolen” his barbershop while he was in prison for two years.

The evidence, however, showed that Ayala’s client waited well after the plaintiff left prison to effect the change for the barbershop’s agreed-upon price.

Evidence at trial showed that the plaintiff regretted the transaction and was highly dissatisfied with the price for the purchase of the barbershop.

Based on this “seller’s remorse,” plaintiff brought baseless allegations of “theft”, “fraud,” and “conversion.”

The jury entered a verdict for Ayala’s client on all theories.

As stated by attorney Eduardo A. Maura, “We are very happy with this result. Our client is a hard-working, small business owner, who did not deserve this. While the transaction was not perfect, it was a transaction, not theft. We are glad our client can finally put an end to this four-year ordeal.”
