An upstate woman suing Bernard Kerik, claiming she wasn’t paid for helping the former New York City police commissioner write his 2015 memoir, is now facing a nearly $44,000 retaining lien granted to her ex-lawyers.
Dara DAddio, whose federal lawsuit against Kerik continues, failed to respond for more than a year to a motion for the retaining lien made by partner Autondria Minor of Schmeiser, Olsen & Watts. The national intellectual property law firm had represented her until January 2016, when its motion to withdraw as counsel was granted.
