This Deep Dive comes hot off the presses today as we discuss a summons and verified complaint filed in the Supreme Court of New York, Kings County. Union Mutual Fire Insurance Company is suing Michael Mahan, Esq., "John Doe, Esq.," and William Schwitzer & Associates, P.C., alleging deceit, collusion, and aiding and abetting common law fraud. The plaintiff claims the defendants, a law firm and two attorneys, knowingly presented false medical reports and affirmations prepared by Dr. Alexios Apazidis to bolster a damages claim in an underlying personal injury lawsuit. Despite being notified of the alleged falsity and having an opportunity to withdraw the evidence, the defendants continued to rely on and argue for the use of the falsified documents, leading to the current action seeking treble damages and punitive damages for the plaintiff's incurred legal expenses and other losses.

So let's dive in to this incredible ongoing saga.
