A federal judge in Houston dismissed a lawsuit that alleged “unconscionable conduct,” including overbilling and negligence, by Maryland-based Offit Kurman and a partner in Philadelphia.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake of the Southern District of Texas granted a defense motion asking to have the suit dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds. Judge Lake also denied the plaintiffs’ motion to remand the suit back to Texas state court where it was originally filed.
