Gorman v. Grodensky

Gorman (plaintiff), a non-lawyer, managed the Collection Division of law firm L&G, which collected fees clients owed the firm, under an agreement with attorney Grodensky (defendant) entitling Gorman to a percentage of the division's net profits, later amended to a 50-50 split after the other partner died; after Gorman was terminated and Grodensky allegedly stopped paying under the agreement, Gorman sued and moved for summary judgment, while Grodensky cross-moved to dismiss.
