Pittsburgh-based Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott has sued New Jersey-based Powers Kirn over more than $250,000 in unpaid legal fees and the parties are now disputing the appropriate venue for the case.

Eckert Seamans filed the suit against Powers Kirn in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas in early July. Powers Kirn has now removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
