The law firm at the center of the First Judicial District’s legal malpractice lawsuit is seeking a protective order to preclude the discovery of all donations and contributions made by the firm or its attorneys to Vincent J. Fumo, the former state senator who is now in prison for political corruption.

Jeffrey B. McCarron and Candidus K. Dougherty of Swartz Campbell filed the motion on behalf of client Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel.
