Marino, Tortorella & Boyle, P.C., a five-lawyer litigation boutique considered by many to be the preeminent such firm in the New York metropolitan area, was founded by Kevin H. Marino in 1996.
All of our lawyers are former federal law clerks with years of experience in prestigious national law firms.
The firm is best known for the extraordinary results it has achieved, for both corporations and individuals, in a broad range of complex commercial litigation and regulatory matters as well as grand jury investigations and criminal prosecutions. The firm also advises corporations, law firms and senior executives on strategic business decisions. Each member of our team is intimately involved in each of the firm's cases.
Many of the firm's greatest victories are not publicly known because they resulted from persuading prosecuting or regulatory authorities not to pursue charges against the firm's clients. Following are some of the firm's most notable recent public achievements:
-The firm defeated efforts by the New Jersey Legislative Select Committee on Investigation to compel Governor Christopher Christie's former Deputy Chief of Staff and campaign manager, William Stepien, to respond to a subpoena for documents relating to the so-called "Bridgegate" scandal. The New Jersey Superior Court's 98-page opinion fully vindicated Mr. Stepien's position that the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution and New Jersey common law protect innocent and guilty witnesses alike from government attempts to compel testimonial acts of production that might be incriminating.
-The firm won the dismissal, affirmed on appeal to the Second Circuit, of aiding-and-abetting fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims against a hedge fund and its principal in connection with end-of-quarter round-trip loans that allegedly facilitated a fraud by failed financial services firm Refco. Krys v. Sugrue (In re Refco, Inc. Sec. Litig.), 08 Civ. 3086, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 108305 (S.D.N.Y. July 28, 2012), aff'd sub nom. Krys v. Pigott, 12-3575, 2014 U.S. App. LEXIS 6666 (2d Cir. Apr. 11, 2014).
-Having secured a $10.25 million dollar restitution judgment for a major financial institution against its former hedge-fund portfolio manager convicted of insider trading in securities held by the fund, United States v. Skowron, 839 F. Supp. 2d 740 (S.D.N.Y. 2012), the firm obtained a $31 million dollar summary judgment award against the former portfolio manager, recouping the entire salary the financial institution paid him during the period of his faithless service. Morgan Stanley v. Skowron, 12 Civ. 8016 (SAS), 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 178435 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 19, 2013).
-After winning a reversal in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals of the Economic Espionage Act and National Stolen Property Act convictions of Sergey Aleynikov, a former Goldman Sachs Vice President charged with stealing trade secrets related to Goldman Sachs's high-frequency trading platform, United States v. Aleynikov, 676 F.3d 71 (2d Cir. 2012), the firm successfully sued Goldman Sachs to secure Mr. Aleynikov's right to advancement of his legal fees and expenses to defend against related charges brought by the New York District Attorney's Office. Aleynikov v. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., 12 Civ. 5994, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 151603 (D.N.J. Oct. 16, 2013). The firm's continuing defense of Mr. Aleynikov was featured in a recent Vanity Fair article by noted author Michael Lewis. http://www.vanityfair.com/business/2013/09/michael-lewis-goldman-sachs-p..., and in Mr. Lewis's book, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt.
-The firm secured the dismissal with prejudice of a complaint brought against a major pharmacy benefits manager by a relator under the False Claims Act and its state law analogues alleging that the PBM received reimbursement from the federal government based on fraudulently inflated drug prices. United States v. Express Scripts, Inc., 05 Civ. 1714 (DMC), 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 175152 (D.N.J. Dec. 9, 2013).
-The firm secured the dismissal with prejudice of a putative class action brought by asbestos injury plaintiffs against the former general counsel of a company acquired by BASF, in which Plaintiffs alleged that the general counsel, the company, and its law firm spoliated evidence and made false statements about the asbestos content in the company's talc product. Williams v. BASF Catalysts LLC, 11 Civ. 1754 (SRC), 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 175918, 2012 WL 6204182 (D.N.J. Dec. 12, 2012)
-The firm secured dismissal of a multi-million dollar FINRA arbitration brought against a major financial institution by the former COO of the firm's Asian real estate business, who had been placed on paid administrative leave in connection with an FCPA investigation.
-The firm is currently actively involved in defending several residential mortgage-backed securities litigations. The firm also regularly serves as local counsel in significant securities and patent litigations filed in New Jersey federal and state courts.
