On April 3, 2019, Fusion Real Estate Inc., doing business as Fusion Growth Partners, filed a commercial contract action against Saul Galvan in Los Angeles County Superior Court, assigned to Judge Wendy Chang. The underlying dispute is not detailed in available records. Fusion voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice on July 15, 2020, and a non-jury trial scheduled for that September was vacated.4UniCourt.

BBB Rating and Complaint Concerns
Consumer complaints outside of court have drawn more attention than the litigation itself. Fusion Growth Partners holds a B- rating from the Better Business Bureau and is not BBB-accredited. The BBB attributes the rating to the company’s failure to respond to at least one complaint.5Better Business Bureau. Fusion Growth Partners BBB Profile – Stuart, FL
