Friday, May 7th:
*Trial Management Conference Hearing (@ 2pm ET) – CT –
Jennifer Rebecca Farber Dulos (50) (missing May 24, 2019, New Canaan; not found) – Regarding: Christopher Hug vs. Pattis & Smith. Mark Dean, Trustee v. P&S (MD is trustee of Farber Trust, represented by Richard Weinstein. The 2 cases are consolidated). To recoup the Fotis Dulos’ retainer fee.
Cases consolidated: #HHD-CV-20-6131504-S: Mark Dean; #HHD-CV20-6131980S: Christopher J. Hug, as administrator of Estate vs. Pattis & Smith, LLC, et al. Suit brought by Gloria Farber to ask NP to return some of the funds FD paid him in January, 2019.
Attorney Christopher Hug, the administrator of the estate, filed to intervene in the lawsuit & then filed his own complaint on Aug. 25, also claiming the money should go to the estate. Hug has since negotiated with Pattis & his attorney to determine how much of the $250K should be reimbursed. Dulos paid Pattis & Smith $50K after he was first arrested in June 2019, according to Hug’s lawsuit. Dulos also paid the attorneys $155K prior to his second arrest on a tampering with evidence charge in Sept. 2019, Hug said. In his lawsuit, Hug claims Pattis & Smith broke their June 2019 agreement with Dulos by failing to reimburse unused portions of the $50K & by spending exorbitant amounts on items that were not connected with his defense.
Remote court trial on 5/28/21.
2/25/21 Update: Next trial management conference on 5/7/21 @ 2pm & Remote court trial proceeding on 5/28/21 @ 10am. 5/5/21 Update: Attorney Weinstein has asked for a continuance on 5/7 remote pretrial hearing--until pending motion to dismiss is decided by the court.
