Bombshell allegations are being made in a nasty legal battle between a New York law firm and an attorney it formerly employed, accusing her of"quiet quitting."
The firm, Napoli Shkolnik, filed a lawsuit in Nassau County accusing Heather Palmore of doing little to no work, failing to bring in clients and directly competing with the firm by simultaneously working for her own."In no way shape or form did I quit. I give 100% every single day — not only to my clients, but to my colleagues as well," said Palmore."They said I did no work in 2023. I performed six depositions, I did court appearances, I was engaged with my clients, I did prep.
Palmore’s attorneys say the lawsuit is in retaliation for Palmore bringing up racial and gender discrimination at the firm. "Napoli Shkolnik filed a lawsuit against her that’s completely frivolous, completely bogus, filled with lies, intended to disparage a hard-working and courageous attorney," said David Gottlieb of Wigdor LLP."They only did this because they knew Ms. Palmore was about to file a discrimination lawsuit against them. The allegations are completely false."
Palmore, who is Black, alleges in a federal complaint that the attorneys at her former firm were"boorish bullies" and that she has been subjected to and witnessed"egregious race and disability discrimination by senior management," calling it"standard operating procedure."
