Frank McCourt Battling Law Firm Involved in his Divorce

In what has become a soap opera, the Los Angeles Dodgers saga involving owner Frank McCourt and his ex-wife Jamie, has now taken a very interesting turn. When the calendar turned to October, McCourt paid $130 million to his ex-wife in an effort to settle a nationally publicized and nasty divorce. As the calendar turns toward double digits in December, McCourt is preparing to recover those costs from a law firm that helped him create a marital-property agreement for him and his wife seven years ago that he claims is faulty.

In the legal world, hundreds of lawyers are sued each year by their clients for a lack of results or for bad results. Law firms make an effort to settle those claims as quickly as possible, before those suits hit the media, so that the firms’ public images are not destroyed.
