The attorney representing Holland & Knight in a legal malpractice suit has asked a Fulton County judge to throw out the case, arguing that the plaintiff’s recent request for a delay essentially admits that the same claims have already been litigated in California.
Holland & Knight, represented by Jeffrey Bramlett and Johns Raines IV of Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, argues that res judicata could preclude the plaintiff’s Fulton suit. On the other hand, they said, if the issues have not already been litigated, there’s no point in delaying the case here. Last month, the attorneys for the plaintiff, Ishtiaq Khan, filed a motion to halt discovery in the Fulton case until a California appeals court rules on the firm’s challenge to a $34.5 million malpractice judgment awarded to a group of plaintiffs, including Khan.
