The case involved a dispute between Corona and an Oklahoma-based equipment manufacturer over the return of a nearly $800,000 deposit on equipment the city decided not to purchase. BB&K Partners John Higginbotham and Victor Wolf convinced the court that the entire agreement was void and that the deposit should be returned, despite the fact that the agreement indicated the deposit was non-refundable. Corona city officials were obviously very pleased with the outcome and the firm’s work on their behalf, particularly given the language of the contract. According to Corona City Attorney Dean Derleth, “this case was very important to the City Council and it was a big victory for the City for many reasons.”
