A lawyer representing Donald Trump in multiple cases is facing legal troubles of his own, New York Law Journal reports.
Todd Blanche and his former law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, are being sued for malpractice by twin brothers Adam Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan, who allege Blanche and Cadwalader forged their signatures on a retainer agreement and “severely” overbilled them while they were the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe.
The Kaplan brothers also reportedly allege their former attorneys are now refusing to turn over their case file to their new lawyers.
