Philadelphia Court Awards $837,000 in Attorney Fees to Greenblatt Pierce in Class Action Dispute

In a recent decision, Judge Abbe Fletman of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas ruled that the law firm Greenblatt Pierce Funt & Flores is entitled to over $837,000 in attorney fees. This award comes in a dispute where the firm sought to recover fees related to a multimillion-dollar employment class action, which its former co-counsel, Thomas Marrone, took over. Judge Fletman concluded that Greenblatt Pierce played a significant role in resolving key legal issues that contributed to the settlement, and thus, the Marrone defendants could not justly retain the benefits without payment.
