Arbitration Award Hits Hard

A report today in Law.com (courtesy of the web page of the Connecticut Bar Association) states that the firm of a Houston, Texas plaintiffs lawyer was ordered to pay $35.7 million in overcharged expenses by former breast implant clients. The award was made by an artitration panel as provided for by a clause in the fee agreements. The interest and attorney's fees will bring the total award to "as much as $58 million." (Mike Frisch)
