Philadelphia County is where lawyers who want large verdicts try cases, if they can. But did you know that in 2011, Lehigh County was home to the second largest verdict awarded in the Keystone state? A $23 million medical malpractice award in Smoyer v. Garcia was awarded there last year, according to
The Legal Intelligencer. Ironically, a Philadelphia lawyer represented the Plaintiffs.
Northampton County is home to the 14th largest verdict. In Reifer v. Russo, a $4.2 million legal malpractice verdict was entered against Allentown Attorney Don Russo, although he told
The Express Times he'll never have to pay a dime because he had already been released.
Russo is also a
former op-ed columnist with The Morning Call.
