Legal malpractice case against a small firm for accepting and prosecuting an employment case (wrongful discharge) on behalf of two individuals who were in a conflict of interest. The attorneys knew the case had no value and should never have been filed, but they churned the case for over $100,000 in fees. After the attorneys all but bankrupted the clients, they withdrew, and then sued their former clients for the balance owed. The former clients' cross-claimed for fraud and a return of the fees paid. Case settled confidentially.
