David Bovino, who merged his Aspen trial firm with Kasowitz Benson Torres in 2018, sued the firm and founder Marc Kasowitz on Monday, alleging he was underpaid and wrongfully ejected from the partnership in 2019 after he disclosed he was suffering from PTSD.

In a complaint filed in district court in Denver County, Bovino alleges the defendants removed him as a partner after only seven months, and paid him an average of $20,000 a month despite  making an “unambiguous promise” to pay him a $1 million yearly base salary in addition to bonuses and other partnership distributions.
