Ardeshir Majlessi, Mr. Vindel&#8217;s former attorney, claimed that he was entitled to a percentage of the $4.75 million settlement that the substituting attorneys obtained on behalf of Mr. Vindel after they replaced Mr. Majlessi as Mr. Vindel&#8217;s attorneys.  Mr. Majlessi ultimately brought lawsuits against both the attorneys and client on the theory that he was entitled to half of that settlement recovery.  Our clients disagreed and after we obtained a ruling forcing Mr. Majlessi to dismiss his claims against the substituting attorneys in November of 2014, the case was finally brought to a close when we obtained a permanent dismissal of the entire dispute in exchange for a waiver of costs on behalf of the substituting attorneys and Mr. Vindel, with no damages paid by either client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February of 2015 two of our attorneys, Bob Baker and Derrick Lowe, finally brought a long-standing dispute over attorneys&#8217; fees to an end in favor of the substituting attorneys, DeWitt Algorri &#038; Algorri and Maryam Parman, and the client, Marvin Vindel.
