Kravchuk v. Collinsworth, Specht, Calkins & Giampa
This action arose out of a failed San Jose residential sales transaction involving appellant Mariia Kravchuk, as buyer, and Taylor Morrison of California, LLC (Taylor), as developer/seller. Respondent Collinsworth, Specht, Calkins & Giampaoli, LLP (CSCG) is a law firm that represented Taylor at or about the time the sales transaction failed. Defendant James M. Ganion (Ganion) is an attorney affiliated with CSCG. Kravchuk filed suit on January 24, 2018, alleging one cause of action for breach of written contract against Taylor, only. Two and one-half years later, on July 27, 2020, Kravchuk filed a second amended complaint. In that pleading, she alleged seven causes of action, naming Taylor and eight additional defendants, including CSCG and Ganion.
On October 9, 2020, CSCG filed a special motion to strike Kravchuk’s second amended complaint under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (special motion to strike, or anti-SLAPP motion).
