A boutique NY/DC law firm seeking seeking $359,000 plus interest and punitive damages for work performed has been counter-sued by the client for $628,000, who is claiming the firm "vastly overcharged" for work done for the family business. A Manhattan Supreme Court justice found there was a sufficient legal and factual basis to support the disgorgement counterclaim, but denied another counterclaim that the firm should not be permitted to collect because it did not obtain a signed engagement letter.
