A judge has tossed out a suit against Owen, Gleaton, Egan, Jones & Sweeney and a former partner there, Amy Kolczak, that accused the lawyer of improperly conducting an ex parte conversation with a potential witness in a Bartow County medical malpractice case.
At issue in the underlying medical malpractice case was a conversation that Kolczak, who represented defendants in that case, had with the plaintiff’s treating physician, who hadn’t been sued. The judge in that case subsequently sanctioned Kolczak’s clients, a hospital and its nursing staff, by striking their defenses, and the plaintiff accepted a $2 million settlement prior to trial.
