A federal judge in Newark has denied most of a series of dismissal motions filed by Jacoby & Meyers in a suit contesting its billing practices.
U.S. District Judge John Michael Vazquez granted Jacoby & Meyers’ motion Tuesday to dismiss a claim for unjust enrichment, but declined to dismiss the case based on a lack of standing for plaintiff Barbara Smalls. He also declined to throw out allegations that defendants Andrew Finkelstein, his firm Finkelstein & Partners, and a company called Total Trial Solutions are alter egos.
