Win $90 Million for Client -- Face Malpractice Suit

It was a huge victory when San Francisco's Rudy, Exelrod & Zieff won about $90 million for a class of insurance adjusters who claimed they had been cheated out of overtime pay. But a year later, one of them sued the firm for malpractice, contending it should have pursued an additional claim under the state's unfair competition law for a bigger recovery.

The CJP disciplined Hyde once before, in 1996.
