A client of accident attorney Benedict Morelli, who, with Morelli’s counsel, secured what might be the largest-ever pain-and-suffering quantity in state history, is countersuing Morelli for $5.5 million in what he argues are settlement funds the attorney is keeping from him.
Morelli, the high-profile complainants attorney known in New York and nationally, argued in court papers that the $5.5 million makes up attorney costs he ought to be truly paid.
