Leeds v. Reino & Iida CA2/8
Plaintiff Mark R. Leeds sued Reino & Iida, a Professional Corporation, and individual lawyers Donald Reino and Myles Iida, claiming that defendants breached an agreement to pay him 25 percent of attorney fees earned for workers’ compensation cases plaintiff referred to them. The trial court granted defendants’ motions for summary judgment, reasoning that the fee splitting agreement was illegal under Rules of Professional Conduct, rule 2-200 (hereafter rule 2-200), because the parties had not obtained written client consent. We affirm.
