Lawyer Sues Brother, Former Partners After Ouster From 3 Firms
Joel S. Finkelstein filed suit in a New York court last week, claiming he had been duped into attending a “sham” meeting where he learned that his partners, including his brother, “without prior notice or warning and without any substantive basis” had removed him without cause as a partner from Finkelstein & Partners and two other firms, Jacoby & Meyers Law Offices and Fine, Olin & Anderman. Finkelstein’s brother disputes that version of events, saying the firms’ other partners voted unanimously to oust Joel for cause.
