$6 Million Judgment Rendered in Cleveland Legal Malpractice Case
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, last Friday, a jury awarded an ex-client $6.4 million in compensatory damages after finding that her former lawyer failed to adequately represent her. During the five week trial, the client admitted she didn't read the fine print on loan papers her lawyer drafted and later learned that in those loan papers she had agreed to transfer ownership of her company to her attorney's father, a Cleveland businessman, if she defaulted on her loan. A default did occur and the client lost her family's coffee business.
