A law firm debtor has requested a bankruptcy court to approve a $645,000 settlement in its Chapter 11 case to resolve a proposed fraudulent misrepresentation class action against a former insurance attorney from Miami. The attorney has described the potential settlement as 'offensive.' In a separate legal matter, Texas law firms Keller Postman and McKool Smith are claiming a total of $136 million in contingency fees for their role in securing a record $1.4 billion settlement from Meta. Additionally, a legal fee dispute has arisen as an ex-judge has filed a lawsuit against the law firm Hagens Berman regarding a pharmaceutical fee award. Meanwhile, a controversy involving a Texas law firm has emerged, where it lost a privilege fight linked to a bankruptcy judge romance scandal.
