Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker has been ordered to pay its adversary as much as $35,800 in legal fees and costs after a judge found a Wilson Elser attorney repeatedly asked inappropriate questions in court, leading to a mistrial in a nursing home negligence case.
Suffolk County Acting Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Spinner (See Profile) said Elizabeth Sandonato, of counsel at Wilson Elser who represented the nursing home, repeatedly and inappropriately referenced the psychiatric history of a deceased woman whose estate was suing the facility.
