Berlin v. Pickett

JAMES M. SMART, JR., Judge.

Roger Berlin, M.D. filed an action on account against lawyer William H. Pickett, an individual, and Pickett’s professional corporation, William H. Pickett, P.C. (collectively, “Lawyers”), seeking payment for expert witness services Dr. Berlin had provided over several years. 1 The trial court, in a bench tried case, granted Lawyers’ oral motion for a “directed verdict and/or judgment” at the close of plaintiffs evidence. Following an earlier remand for specific findings of fact, we again reverse and remand.
