PHILADELPHIA – A Kentucky man dismissed his lawsuit against former Philadelphia-based attorney who allegedly failed to adequately represent him in a dispute with his former employer.
Sherman Hart filed a complaint on Nov. 6 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Gerald J. Pomerantz Esq. and Gerald Jay Pomerantz & Associates PC alleging legal malpractice and other counts. But he dismissed the claim in August 2018, with a status report showing the sides had reached an agreement.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he was injured while performing his duties as an employee of Coca-Cola in 2014 and was later terminated the same year. The suit states the defendants represented him in the matter. He alleged that the defendants failed to file briefs on time, failed to help him find medical treatment and failed to present evidence from witnesses.
