NEW YORK — DLA Piper’s public feud with an ex-client who alleged the firm overbilled him has been resolved a month after the client released headline-grabbing internal emails by DLA attorneys who discussed a "churn that bill, baby" approach to billing.

Adam Victor reached a settlement with the firm, said Larry Hutcher, a partner at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron who represents Victor. Victor exposed the emails obtained in discovery in response to a lawsuit brought by DLA claiming Victor owed $679,000 in legal fees.
