Class action lawsuit against Ocwen Federal FSB
In July 2002, Kweku Hanson started a class action lawsuit against Ocwen Federal FSB West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was represented by fellow Connecticut lawyer Paul Ngobeni. The 123 page lawsuit at Hanson v. Ocwen Federal Bank outlines a six-year battle over charges and late fees.
"It is clear that this is a pattern and practice of piracy," Hanson said in an interview. He joined the suit by 57 people who claimed to have been injured by Ocwen. The lawsuit sought $ 1.5 billion in punishment and indemnity, but was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
South African Apartheid Litigation
During 2003, he, along with Paul Ngobeni, a colleague of Ocwen class action lawsuits, represented three plaintiffs who claimed to represent "all those who lived in South Africa between 1948 and now and who suffered damage from apartheid." Indemnification and compensation of more than $ 400 billion is claimed from the "murder" of multinational corporations (including IBM, Citigroup, GE, DuPont and many others) doing business in apartheid South Africa for violations of international law subject to federal United States. district courts under the Alien Tort Claims Act, 28 USC Ã,§ 1350 ("ATCA"), and other jurisdictional provisions. Two other South African anti-apartheid claims - Khulumani et al. , vs. Barclays Bank et al. , the lawsuit; and the Ntsebeza vs Daimler Chrysler Corp. lawsuit had previously been initiated separately during 2002. The New York District Court under Judge John E. Sprizzo found a defense to dismiss a complaint. The findings were partially emptied by the US Court of Appeals (Second Circuit) in an appeal first filed in January 2006 and decided in October 2007 but at that time Mr Hanson no longer represented the complainants.

On November 1, 2007, Hanson pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual assault on the second level; two counts of risk of injury to small children; one allegation of child pornography in the first degree; and two counts of damaging witnesses. He received an effective total penalty of twenty-five years of deferred execution after he served six years in prison followed by a thirty-year probation. Before his sentence Hanson attempted to withdraw his "guilty plea", claiming, in part, that he did not understand the criminal charges brought against him and the court had failed to notify him of the range of punishments related to the charge during the process known as plea canvassing.
The court judge denied his motion orally; then, the Court of Appeal formally issued a written opinion in support of the decision.
