The Maryland Court of Special Appeals recently upheld the Client Protection Fund trustees' denial of a man's initial $3.1 million claim for misappropriated funds, finding an attorney who was convicted of embezzling the money was not acting in fiduciary capacity that is "traditional and customary in the practice of law in Maryland."
Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who imposed a similar fine on former President Donald Trump in April, noted that New York AG Letitia James has asked Cushman to produce "an enormous number of documents." Cushman said there court failed to understand the "extreme lengths" the company had gone to in compliance.
