A former lawyer of Steven Donziger has sued the Chevron foe over what appear to be allegations of unpaid legal bills, while Donziger has separately moved to dismiss the criminal case in which the lawyer, Andrew Frisch, represented him.
Frisch filed a summons Wednesday in New York state court notifying Donziger he was initiating a case for breach of contract for damages “believed to be in excess of $250,000, plus consequential damages of at least $100,000.”
