- Akerman is accusing a former client of owing the firm over $2.8 million in unpaid legal fees in a lawsuit filed by the law firm.
- The lawsuit alleges that the client was being represented by a former partner who left the firm in February.
- The former partner took the client with him, but the client still owes Akerman for that legal work, according to court documents.
Akerman is suing a former client alleging that he has a total overdue bill of more than $2.8 million.
The client, Blaine Iler, was convicted of extortion, conspiracy and bribery in June along with two other executives of a food servicer for bribing a New York City Department of Education official. Former Akerman partner Bradley Henry was originally lead counsel on the case, but in February he moved to Blank Rome and took Iler with him as a client, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in New York state court.
