🚨 BOMBSHELL: A federal civil RICO lawsuit has been filed against powerhouse law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP and firm partners Anthony Alden and Robert Schwartz, accusing them of an alleged scheme involving conflicts of interest, fraud, excessive billing, mail fraud, wire fraud, and the movement of allegedly stolen client funds. The lawsuit was filed by Jessica Mah, Andrea Barrica, several Mahway entities, and Thortus LLC in the Central District of California. At the center of the case is Justin Caldbeck. Mah and Barrica allege that Caldbeck sexually harassed and assaulted them. They later hired Quinn Emanuel to represent them in disputes and lawsuits against him. But here is where the alleged conflict comes in. According to the complaint, Quinn Emanuel had PREVIOUSLY represented Caldbeck in connection with sexual harassment allegations made against him in 2017. The plaintiffs claim Quinn Emanuel knew this, but told Mah that its prior representation of Caldbeck appeared to be unrelated and should not be a problem. They allege that was false. According to the complaint, the prior representation involved the very type of sexual misconduct history that Quinn Emanuel later relied on while representing Mah and Barrica AGAINST Caldbeck. The plaintiffs say they were never fully informed about the nature of that prior representation, were never asked to provide informed written consent to the conflict, and were never properly warned that Quinn Emanuel could be disqualified. The complaint also alleges Quinn Emanuel instructed Mah’s existing attorney not to disclose the firm’s involvement until mediation. Once Caldbeck learned Quinn Emanuel was representing Mah and Barrica, his attorneys raised the conflict and later moved to disqualify the firm, arguing that Quinn Emanuel had previously represented him concerning the same 2017 sexual harassment allegations that were now being used against him. The plaintiffs allege Quinn Emanuel continued working and billing even after the conflict was raised. And the money involved is significant. Mah says she initially paid Quinn Emanuel a $200,000 advance. The firm later sent a May 2025 invoice for more than $632,000 and eventually demanded approximately another $1.7 million. According to the complaint, a three arbitrator fee panel later found that Quinn Emanuel left Mah in a worse position than before she hired the firm, that the quality of the work did not justify the rates, and that the billing was unconscionable. The award was nonbinding, and Quinn Emanuel rejected it. But this lawsuit goes much further than malpractice. The plaintiffs are alleging a civil RICO enterprise. They claim Quinn Emanuel and lawyers associated with the firm engaged in a broader pattern of knowingly accepting conflicted representations, obtaining fees through allegedly fraudulent engagement agreements, using mail and electronic communications in furtherance of the alleged scheme, and transferring client money across state and international lines. The complaint specifically alleges predicate acts involving wire fraud, mail fraud, and transportation of allegedly stolen money. It also alleges that portions of Mah’s $200,000 advance were transferred from California to accounts in New York, Washington, D.C., and Zurich, Switzerland, and claims those transfers were part of the alleged racketeering activity. The plaintiffs further point to other cases where Quinn Emanuel allegedly faced disqualification over conflicts involving former clients, arguing that what happened here was not an isolated mistake but part of a recurring pattern. Again, these are allegations. Quinn Emanuel and the individual defendants have the opportunity to challenge them in court. See below in replies for more⬇️: Complaint: drive.google.com/file/d/1FCM…
