Trust dispute case Rudolph Friedmann recently settled for a client:
"Jonathon D. Friedmann, with the assistance of John Murphy and Lori Krusell, completed a case in the Middlesex Probate & Family Court generating over $600,000.00 to our client. We represented a Successor Trustee in a Trust and alleged that the former Trustee had absconded with funds of the Trust. The Court found in our favor, thus the beneficiaries of the Estate/Trust will receive an additional $600,000.00 beyond that which was originally paid to them. The Court not only awarded our client all of the attorneys' fees that were incurred, but also awarded punitive damages by way of compound interest. The Defendant, after losing on Summary Judgment, appealed the matter to the Appeals Court. The Appeals Court upheld our position and upheld the award of punitive damages."
