One day before launching his own firm, former Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association President Kenneth Fulginiti filed a lawsuit against his former partner Thomas Duffy Jr. and his former firm, alleging that Duffy defrauded Fulginiti out of millions in compensation throughout his 34-year tenure by understating firm profits, wasting firm revenues on “vanity expenses,” and funneling firm funds toward personal needs.
The 38-page complaint, filed in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Feb. 28 on behalf of Fulginiti by Lamb McErlane attorneys Joseph Podraza and William Trask, was discontinued without prejudice on Feb. 29, the same day Fulginiti announced he was opening his own firm.
