Kleinbard DQ d In Ex-Master Weinstein Atty Separation Fight
Law360 (June 29, 2021, 7:18 PM EDT) A Pennsylvania state judge agreed Tuesday that a Kleinbard LLC attorney s work for members of Master Weinstein Moyer PC s partnership five years ago disqualified him from representing Master Weinstein against a former partner who took cases with him when he opened his own shop.
In a one-page order following a hearing Tuesday morning, Judge Leon Tucker in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas found that Kleinbard s Robert Bodzin needed to step aside after he represented ex-Master Weinstein partner Stephen Schatz in crafting a deal in a dispute with another one-time firm attorney, which was ultimately incorporated into Schatz s own separation.
