Ford Motor Co. has filed a $300 million lawsuit against three California law firms, alleging a racketeering scheme that involved inflating attorney fee requests in lemon law cases. The suit claims that over ten years, these firms submitted fraudulent fee requests amounting to more than $100 million based on implausibly detailed billing, including attorneys claiming to work over 24 hours in a day. Ford is seeking damages for what it argues are excessive and fraudulent billing practices, specifically targeting the Knight Law Group as a central figure in this alleged conspiracy.
The lawsuit details a manipulation of billing claims, implicating California law firms in a scheme that inflated fees across numerous lemon law cases against car manufacturers.
The defendants allegedly submitted over $100 million in attorney fee requests, with Ford claiming that at least half were fraudulent, aiming for $300 million in damages.
