Two law firms fighting over nearly $5 million in legal fees in a record-setting dram shop case will battle on, thanks to a New Jersey appeals court decision that reversed the award of more than $4.6 million to one of them. After a $105 million verdict was overturned, the case settled for $25 million, with $4.8 million designated for legal fees. Rosemarie Arnold, whose firm originated the case, and David Mazie, who took it over and brought it to trial and settlement, have been vying over their share of the money.

Two law firms fighting over nearly $5 million in legal fees in a record-setting dram shop case will battle on, thanks to an appeals court decision Thursday that reversed the award of more than $4.6 million to one of them.
At issue are the fees in Verni v. Lanzaro, A-4058-07, in which a jury in 2005 awarded $105 million in damages over a 1999 drunken-driving crash that paralyzed Antonia Verni, then 2 years old.
