Three family members of a man killed in a helicopter crash have sued two trial lawyers who represented them in a wrongful-death case, as well as a former judge who presided over that suit.

The plaintiffs filed Alicia Sanchez, et al. v. Rosenthal & Watson, et al. after one of their trial lawyers in the underlying wrongful-death suit, Jose Santiago “Jim” Solis, and Judge Abel Limas each entered guilty pleas in federal court: On March 31, Limas pleaded guilty to one count of racketeering and on April 29, Solis, a former Democratic state representative, pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting extortion.
