In reversing the trial court in a legal-fees action brought by a Manhattan law firm against its former clients, a state appeals court has granted the law firm judgment for the fees, ruling that one of the ex-client’s “self-serving, bald allegations of oral protests” allegedly made before she received certain invoices failed to “raise a triable issue of fact.”

The Appellate Division, First Department court has ruled that Katsky Korins, a 30-attorney general practice firm, must be paid $209,836.44 by the defendants, with statutory interest from Sept. 11, 2019. The $209,836.44 plus interest is the amount that Katsky Korins demanded in its original complaint lodged in December 2019.
