Respondent counsel for an Atlanta attorney accused of attempting to extort “$24 million within two business days” from a real estate developer client is now seeking to have the $3.7 million arbitration judgment awarded against John Da Grosa Smith vacated.
In new court filings, Smith’s counsel alleges petitioners in the breach-of-fiduciary-duty and contract matter are “attempting to scam [the] Court [by] asking it to confirm an arbitration award and enter a judgment in favor of parties that do not exist.”
