In a stunning legal twist that has left the legal community perplexed, Karen Schauble, an esteemed Denver attorney from Schauble Law Group, has filed a legal malpractice lawsuit against Greenberg Traurig LLP lawyers and the firm. The lawsuit comes after they allegedly refused to drop her ex-husband as a client in divorce proceedings, despite their long-standing relationships with both the firm and the attorneys.
Decades-Long Association
Karen Schauble’s association with Keith Pockross, one of the attorneys named in the lawsuit, dates back to 1993, before he joined the Greenberg Traurig LLP. For nearly three decades, their legal relationship endured as Pockross transitioned through various law firms. Pockross, who currently holds the position of “of counsel” at Greenberg Traurig, officially joined the firm in the early 2000s. During this time, they collaborated on numerous legal matters that extended well into the 2020s.
Schauble, previously known as Leaffer, was an individual client of Greenberg Traurig, utilizing their services for matters related to her law firm and other businesses she owned. The firm’s representation continued even at the time of her divorce.
Greenberg Filed Divorce Case : Shocking Betrayal
The shockwave that hit Karen Schauble occurred in November 2021 when her husband initiated divorce proceedings. Given the history of her legal representation, Ms. Schauble naturally considered Greenberg Traurig to be her legal advocates in this matter. Her world was turned upside down when she discovered that Keith Pockross had agreed to have Greenberg Traurig represent her husband in the divorce case, and the attorney who filed the divorce petition was Robert Kaufman, a Greenberg Traurig attorney.
