Court: Unknown

Plaintiff's Attorney: Gregory J. Pappas and Rachelle M. Shocklee of Cohen McNeile Pappas & Shuttleworth P.C., Leawood, Missouri

Description:

C.W. Luebbert Construction Co., Inc. appeals from the court's judgment awarding attorney fees to Levy & Craig in the amount of $8,403.21, plus costs. Luebbert's sole point on appeal is that the court erred in entering judgment for Levy & Craig because an attorney's services have no value to his client when that attorney has a conflict of interest. Luebbert argues the evidence presented at trial was uncontroverted that Levy & Craig had a conflict of interest with Luebbert and two other clients.
