Months after being sued by their former law firm, two former construction and real estate attorneys at boutique Klein Slowik have hit back with a new lawsuit that accuses the firm's leaders of using racial slurs, placing pornography in work documents, unleashing angry tirades and upsetting clients with their bad management.
Daniel Schneider and Michael Farber leveled the allegations against Christopher Slowik and Stuart Klein in a Jan. 8 complaint in Manhattan Supreme Court. The pair had filed bare-bones summons with notice last year, after Klein Slowik sued them and their new firm, Farber Schneider Ferrari, for allegedly misusing their firm's resources.
According to the new suit, Slowik would entertain himself by sending work product and emails to Schneider or Farber that included pornographic images and videos. "Worse," the complaint alleges, "the pornographic image also showed Slowik's insensitivity to certain populations in that the regular protagonist of these insertions was named, as Slowik advised, 'Bridget the Midget.'"
