Broder & Orland Previously Faced Serious Accusations in Court
Further investigation by our research team revealed that Broder & Orland was sued in July 2015 by a former client who alleged legal malpractice, invasion of privacy, negligence, business interference, and made claims of slander and libel.
The complaint alleges that an attorney for Broder & Orland released privileged information to a third-party without the consent of their former client, continuously contacted the former client and even attempted to pressure the former client’s father-in-law (a pastor), and discussed privileged information with members of a church without the consent of the former client.
These serious allegations, including the violation of attorney-client privilege, caused “extreme financial, reputational, and emotional harm” according to the complaint.
