A Philadelphia trial judge has ordered the principals of Philadelphia personal injury firm Pansini & Mezrow to pay nearly $117,000 plus interest to Montgomery County solo attorney John I. Gordon as a referral fee in an injury case that settled for $1.5 million and garnered $600,000 in attorney fees.
In Gordon v. Pansini, Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas Judge Gary S. Glazer issued an October 31 ruling granting Gordon’s motion for partial summary judgment, saying Michael O. Pansini and Steven M. Mezrow breached their contract with Gordon, which had provided for a referral fee of one-third of the total attorney fees in the case.
