Holland & Knight has obtained a $772,000 judgment against Charles Gibbs, an ex-partner and veteran trusts and estates lawyer, for the firm's share of legal fees from two cases.
The judgment comes nearly three years after Gibbs initiated litigation when he sued the firm, claiming it owed him more money. Soon after, Holland & Knight brought its own claims against Gibbs.
“It started as a claim by him against the firm for additional compensation … and it ended up being a judgment against him for almost 800,000,” said Michael Delikat, Holland & Knight's lawyer and a partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. “That's quite a reversal of how the case started.”
