Client Malpractice

Posted on October 12, 2007 by Greg May

Another good post from Decision of the Day, giving the skinny on a case in which the D. C. court of appeals rejects a law firm’s attempt to sue a client for fouling up a case and costing the firm its anticipated contingency fee. Gotta give the firm points for creativity.
