A Roanoke lawyer’s handling of two legal cases — one on behalf of a client, the other involving her subsequent lawsuit against him — has left him on the hook for monetary damages that stretch into the high six figures. Following a judge’s civil award last year, attorney Charles John “C.J.” Covati currently owes just less than $742,300 to former client Stacy Bush Phillips, according to documents filed in Roanoke Circuit Court. Covati represented Phillips in her divorce in 2016 and negotiated monthly spousal support on her behalf. But in 2019 she sued him for malpractice, arguing that he had mismanaged her case. Her suit, which sought $1 million in damages, claimed he rushed the proceedings, had not fully consulted with her on several details, and failed to pursue assets that might have been available to her, including her ex-husband’s retirement benefits.
