S1 E40 Deceit and SLAPP Wars When Insurers Sue Lawyers Medical Fraud

Send us Fan MailToday's Episode of The Deep Dive explores a contentious lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, involving the Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company against Michael Mahan, Esq., "John Doe, Esq.," and William Schwitzer & Associates, P.C. We discuss the Defendants' Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Dismiss, arguing for the dismissal of claims, including violations of Judiciary Law § 487 and aiding and abetting fraud, by characterizing the suit as an unlawful Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) intended to bully defense counsel. Then we'll dive into the Plaintiff's Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, which provides extensive counter-arguments and granular factual allegations intended to demonstrate the Defendants' knowing use of false evidence and collusion with a doctor to deceive the court.  We're look at their argument that anti-SLAPP protections do not apply to fraudulent conduct.Support the show
