Law Firm Wins Fee Case Against Former Clients

Posted on 18:54 by Unknown
STAES AND SCALLAN, PC v. Orlich, Ill: Appellate Court, 1st Dist., 2nd Div. 2012 - Google Scholar:

This is a legal fee collection case in which the law firm prevailed and obtained a judgment against the former client.  The law firm's position was strengthened by the engagement letter, which set forth the agreement between the law firm and the client.  The law firm also did not charge the plaintiff for an attempt to remove the underlying case to federal court, an effort that failed when the federal court remanded the case to the state court.

Edward X. Clinton, Jr.
