Lawyers Lance Kassab and David Kassab obtained a judgment in excess of $5 million dollars for their clients, the owners of famous (and delicious) Terry Blacks BBQ, against the Cokinos Young law firm and its lawyer James (Jim) Ewbank, II for breach of fiduciary duty. The judgment confirmed an arbitration award issued after a multi-day arbitration hearing in front of a panel of three arbitrators that found James (Jim) Ewbank, II engaged in a “clear and serious” violation of his fiduciary duties when he “repeatedly mislead” and acted “adversarial to” clients of his law firm - the Black family - and misused their confidential information to increase his own commission in a real estate transaction.
and win big.
