Pro Se Suit Follows Dropped Criminal Charges
Just one day after federal prosecutors agreed to drop criminal charges against a major New York law firm, a June 18 article in the New York Law Journal states that two former partners have filed a pro se law suit against the founder and three other firm partners. The four partners were accused of participating in a scheme which paid millions of dollars in kickbacks over the course of twenty five years to class action plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs’ complaint is based upon their argument that the actions taken broke the fiduciary duty among partners.
