Duane Morris and two former partners achieved a complete defense win in a legal malpractice trial in Colorado brought by a former client who claimed the defendants failed to timely secure a settlement on his behalf.
On June 27, a federal jury in Colorado found against plaintiff Edward Phillips and on behalf of Duane Morris and former partners John C. Herman and Allen L. Greenberg, rejecting Phillips’ legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment claims.
