A New Orleans attorney implicated in a fraud investigation into the processing of claims made against BP’s oil spill settlement has asked a federal judge to dismiss a legal malpractice claim against him.
Jonathan Andry has moved to dismiss a case brought by former client Howell Construction Inc. Howell, in a suit filed on Jan. 16, claims that Andry and two firms with which he is affiliated, Andry Lerner and Andry Law Group, as well as Christina Mancuso, an attorney at Andry Law Group, advised the company to opt out of the 2012 settlement, which BP has lately valued at $9.2 billion. The settlement is designed to compensate individuals and businesses for economic damages tied to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill.
