A legal dispute has surfaced between two Colorado personal injury firms concerning the division of attorney fees from a $1.5 million tort settlement. The initial firm has argued in state federal court that it should receive a larger portion of the fees, as the case’s primary attorney did the majority of the work before transferring to another firm. This assertion raises important questions about how compensation should be apportioned when attorneys move practices mid-case. Additional insights and case specifics can be found in the original report by Law360.
