A malpractice lawsuit claims a Barnes & Thornburg lawyer essentially did everything wrong when handling a woman’s lawsuit that claimed a “crooked” insurance salesman scammed her out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and a $4 million policy.
The complaint filed last week said B&T Atlanta partner James Leonard “claimed to be an insurance expert who previously represented the insurance company” and could “fix everything with a couple of phone calls.”
