A multimillion-dollar fee dispute between high-powered plaintiffs’ firm Butler Wooten & Peak and former partner Robert Cheeley quietly resolved after both sides met in mediation late last year.
Following a contentious back and forth over what Cheeley’s lawyer, former Gov. Roy Barnes, suggested could be as much as $8 million, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Craig Schwall ordered the case into mediation.
