Despite the bitter court battle to dissolve Buffalo-based law firm Cellino & Barnes, name partners at the personal-injury firm are still earning big profits, according to court documents.
Both Stephen Barnes and Ross Cellino have each received profit distributions of $7 million this year. Despite Cellino filing a suit in May against Barnes seeking to dissolve the 25-year partnership, each partner has earned $2 million in the months since the suit was filed, according to documents filed by their respective attorneys with Erie County Supreme Court Justice Deborah Chimes.
