Jones Day Sued for Alleged Malpractice by Pro Bono Clients Who Say Eviction Deal Left Them Homeless
The ABA Journal reports that two former mobile home owners have filed a malpractice suit against Jones Day that claims that the law firm’s work on their eviction case was a “fiasco.”
Two California residents allege that Jones Day pressured them to accept a “burdensome settlement” without asserting legitimate defenses and then dropped them as clients a few weeks after the deal was signed, writes the Journal‘s Debra Cassens Weiss. The two say they couldn’t navigate the deal themselves, and they became “permanently homeless” after being evicted.
