Civil Rights Litigation

In a landmark corruption and civil rights case, DJCBP Corporation and its principal, David Ju, prevailed against the City of Baldwin Park after a years-long battle over alleged municipal corruption and retaliation. The Plaintiffs accused city officials of engaging in bribery and extortion schemes tied to development projects. When DJCBP refused to participate, they claimed the City retaliated by withholding payments and terminating contracts. A federal jury found the City liable for fraud and negligent supervision, awarding $1.89 million in damages. The verdict underscores accountability in municipal governance and reaffirms protections for those who challenge public corruption.
