Mike Furey was quoted in an article, "NJ Justices' Fee-Shift Ruling Could Fuel Fiduciary Suits," in Law360. The article is about a New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that found attorneys who intentionally breach a fiduciary duty can owe counsel fees to a non-client. The case involves unusual facts that should not encourage additional malpractice lawsuits. "I think this is such an unusual situation that it's unlikely that it's going to start a spate of new claims against attorneys," Furey said.
