Richard D. Glovsky Successfully Defends Client and Wins Significant Judgment

Richard D. Glovsky has won a significant judgment for a client who was being sued by her former attorney.  The attorney sought to collect additional fees from our client as a result of having her sign an unusual contingency fee arrangement for a relatively simple stock repurchase agreement. 

Our client then filed a counterclaim seeking to receive reimbursement for both the excessive amount billed under the original contingency fee arrangement, as well as reimbursement for legal fees that arose out of the initial claim. After a six-day jury trial, the court found that the attorney had violated his fiduciary duties to the defendants, made knowing misrepresentations to them and violated several rules of professional ethics. 

Richard D. Glovsky, who represented the defendants along with colleague Joshua Lewin, said the decision is a reminder to lawyers "that it's essential that we be forever cognizant of our obligations to our clients."
