Karen Schauble repeatedly implored Greenberg Traurig to withdraw as counsel for her ex-husband. Yet, instead of complying with her request, the firm sought her consent to continue representing him, a request she adamantly refused.
Legal Battle Ensues
In a perplexing turn of events, Schauble pursued the disqualification of the firm and the attorneys. Following a hearing in which Keith Pockross testified against her, a judge ruled in June 2022 that Schauble was still considered a client of the firm. Consequently, Kaufman and the firm were disqualified from representing her ex-husband in the divorce case.
The disqualification ordeal inflicted substantial financial losses on Schauble, including over $90,000 in attorney fees and $67,000 worth of work she had to forego to focus on litigating this matter.
Greenberg Filed Divorce Case : Pursuit of Justice
In the face of these challenges, Karen Schauble is determined to seek justice. She is now seeking to recover these financial losses as damages for alleged legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty. Moreover, she seeks compensation for the emotional distress she endured due to the betrayal of her trust related to her breach of fiduciary duty claim.
