A Nassau County law firm that failed to provide its client with a written retainer agreement or an accounting of time spent working on his case will continue to face a lawsuit alleging that the firm owes him thousands of dollars in never-earned fees.
An Appellate Division, First Department, panel ruled that the lawsuit, claiming breach of an oral agreement, launched by physician Alan Dubrow against his former lawyers at Herman & Beinin must go forward and not be dismissed.
Dubrow has sued the boutique firm for what he calls the “unearned portion” of a $176,500 retainer he paid to the firm near the start of his employment discrimination action, according to the panel. The exact amount of money he wants returned was not specified by the court.
