With a $25 million settlement hanging in the balance, lawyers in the Trump University class action are lashing out at a New York attorney who filed an objection, accusing him of ethics violations and demanding that his client drop her opposition.
The accusations against Gary Friedman come as his objection to the settlement, filed earlier this month on behalf of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, lawyer Sherri Simpson, could sabotage final approval of the deal at a hearing on Thursday in San Diego. Plaintiffs lawyers with Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd sent a letter last week to Simpson, urging her to withdraw her objection, which they called ill-advised and warned could “jeopardize tens of millions of dollars in recoveries to thousands of Trump University student-victims who need relief now, not years down the line.”
