Veronica Yu Welsh, Lindsey White and Jamie Salazar Obtain Sanctions Against Plaintiff
Veronica Yu Welsh, Lindsey A. White and Jamie L. Salazer obtained significant sanctions against a plaintiff and her attorney in a case in the D.C. Superior Court. They discovered that the plaintiff had fabricated evidence to support her wage claim, but the plaintiff and her counsel (in the words of the court) “tripled down” on the supposed authenticity of the evidence, then tried to use the fraudulent evidence to barter a deal with the company. Although the plaintiff eventually dismissed the wage claim, the court found this to be fraud and awarded sanctions against the plaintiff.
