The Georgia Court of Appeals has vacated and remanded a judge’s order awarding nearly $50,000 in attorney fees and expenses to a lawyer sued over his work as a special prosecutor cracking down on illegal gambling on coin-operated machines.
Owners of the machines sued Lambros Firm principal Michael Lambros regarding his work for several counties, which has garnered hundreds of thousands of dollars in forfeitures and settlements. The plaintiffs claimed, among other things, that the Georgia criminal conspiracy statute that Lambros used against the machine owners was unconstitutional.
