A putative class action filed in federal court in Newark claims Jacoby & Meyers and an affiliated firm engaged in deceptive billing practices by farming out some legal work to litigation support companies owned by some of the firms’ current and former partners.
The suit alleges attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers and another firm, Finkelstein & Partners, got a bigger bite of the plaintiffs’ personal injury settlements by using the services of Total Trial Solutions. That company is allegedly owned by Andrew Finkelstein, who is a partner of both Jacoby & Meyers and Finkelstein & Partners, and Kenneth Oliver, a former partner of both firms.
