A 12-person Gwinnett County jury on Thursday awarded $236,129 to a lawyer in a dispute with Balch & Bingham over compensation that she was owed by Meadows, Ichter & Bowers, which Balch absorbed in a merger in 2003. Plaintiff Betsy Vance Peterzell claimed Meadows Ichter shortchanged her fees she was owed after she left the firm.
Former Georgia Attorney General Michael J. Bowers and Peterzell were the only two witnesses in the case. Balch & Bingham was represented by its local managing partner T. Joshua R. Archer, who argued unsuccessfully that his firm was not liable for any judgment against Meadows Ichter. Meadows Ichter was represented by former Balch & Bingham attorney J. Tom Morgan.
