A California plaintiff firm was set to reel in one-third of any settlement from a fisherman's slip-and-fall case. Partners labeled the case a "slam dunk," worth at least $700,000. Then they saw their catch get away. The fisherman fired Banning Micklow and agreed to settle the case for $125,000, persuading another firm to sign off on the deal. This month, Banning Micklow sued Del Monte Foods Co., owner of the StarKist tuna brand and the boat on which Manrique worked, claiming a cut of the contingency fee.
