In a pair of appeals over a thorny real estate dispute, the firm of Price, Meese, Shulman & D’Arminio was unable to shake a $918,059 legal malpractice judgment, while the court upheld the dismissal of claims against two other firms—Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker and Norris, McLaughlin & Marcus—that had been accused of concealing evidence.
The malpractice judgment was entered against Price Meese and attorneys Gail Price and Paul Conciatori in February 2014 in a suit by landowners accusing the lawyers of dual representation.
