SAN FRANCISCO — A lawyer for Thomas Ostly, a plaintiffs lawyer at the center of a seamy saga involving sexual harassment allegations, said Tuesday he’ll appeal an Alameda County Superior Court judge’s decision to toss his malicious prosecution suit against Oakland firm Siegel & Yee and Oakland employment lawyer Anne Omura.
Ostly, represented by Donald Putterman of Putterman Logan & Giles in San Francisco, claimed that lawyers at Siegel & Yee and Omura conspired to ruin his career by accusing him of sexually harassing his former assistant, Allison Moreno, after the romantic relationship between the two soured. A jury sided with Ostly in 2010 and awarded him $1.25 million in a defamation countersuit against Moreno.
