The Internet is a great place to start an
investigation.
I recently filed a lawsuit against a lawyer
who refused to pay me a referral fee for
a personal injury case I had referred to
his firm. He had agreed to pay me one
third of the total fee. When the case
settled, he conveniently forgot about me.
I decided to sue him in Philadelphia in
order to gain the "home field advantage".
This lawyer practices in New York and
New Jersey. He filed objections to my
lawsuit, claiming that he did no work in
Pennsylvania, had no connection of any
Kind to Pennsylvania and that, therefore,
the Pennsylvania courts had no jurisdiction
over him. "Jurisdiction" is defined as the
power, right, or authority to interpret and
apply the law. He seeks transfer of the
case to New York or New Jersey.
I decided to "Google" him, just to be sure.
I tried "Googling" his name and his law
firm's name, but found nothing helpful.
Finally, I added his middle name, and
struck pay dirt. It turns out that this
lawyer was licensed to practice law in
Pennsylvania in 1998. I learned this
from his advertisement.
He currently holds himself out on that
website as a "specialist in personal
injury in NY, NJ and PA".
Also, the Disciplinary Board of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently
transferred him to "inactive status",
for reasons I have yet to determine.
Since jurisdiction in Pennsylvania is
proper over any person who engages in
any business or profession in this
Commonwealth, I believe the Pennsylvania
courts have jurisdiction over him.
