Angelo v. Winet
Attorneys Christopher E. Angelo, Joseph Di Monda, and the law firm of Angelo & Di Monda LLP (collectively, A&D) sued attorneys Randall Winet, Marilyn Perrin, and the law firm of Winet, Patrick & Weaver (collectively, WPW) for actions undertaken while WPW represented Leonel Arellano in a personal injury action. The trial court denied WPW's special motion to strike A&D's complaint under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) statute. (All undesignated statutory references are to the Code of Civil Procedure.) The trial court found that although WPW made a threshold showing that A&D's complaint arose from protected activity, A&D demonstrated a probability of prevailing on their claims.
