The Pennsylvania Superior Court has affirmed a ruling out of Philadelphia, upholding a $2.3 million verdict in a Dragonetti lawsuit that includes punitive damages against a Drexel Hill lawyer.

Mark S. Halpern of Halpern & Levy is on the hook for $1.75 million in punitive damages after a jury reached its verdict back in September 2016 over claims that he filed a frivolous lawsuit against a former Cozen O’Connor attorney. The plaintiff in the underlying case, Lynne Boghossian, was also hit with $300,000 in punitive damages.
