Maraziti v. Idaho Mountain Development, LLC CA4/1
Andrew H. Griffin, III dba Law Office of Andrew H. Griffin, III (hereafter, Griffin) represented Richard J. Maraziti in a legal malpractice case against Maraziti’s former attorney, William Rathbone. During that litigation, Griffin made false statements to the trial court concerning the availability and preparedness of Maraziti’s designated expert witnesses. Based in part on these misstatements, the court precluded one of the expert witnesses, and possibly two of them, from testifying at trial. The case proceeded to trial, judgment was entered in favor of Rathbone, and Maraziti appealed. While the appeal was pending, the matter was resolved through a confidential settlement agreement reached during mediation.
After the prior legal malpractice case concluded, Maraziti filed the present action against Griffin for legal malpractice, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and breach of contract based on Griffin’s making of false expert witness statements.
