You remember Stephen Conrad? He is the Woodbridge lawyer who settled in apparently hundreds of claims without the proper authority.  Worse, he often kept the settlement proceeds for themselves.  He sits has for example, and time in jail.

Many Conrad's had little luck former customers, when you try to recover compensation for their cases.  Many decisions have been made, that the settlements reached with the insurance companies are binding.  These decisions were based on Conrad's "apparent authority" negotiations with insurers.

The last case went against this trend.  Loudoun County Circuit Judge Thomas Horne decided a plaintiff to make progress with his auto accident case allow, although Conrad had made a previous agreement.  Judge CITES Horne a 1926 Supreme Court of Virginia decision, which explains that in order to "apparent authority" have the client, the Attorney has something more than just rent.

Conrad had 2004 handled the car accident claim to $18,000 in 2006.  The case will now continue.

This is the second decision by Virginia judge where Conrad's former customers continued their demands.  Prince William County Circuit Court Judge William D. Hamblen others decided in April 2010.  Read more about the case in our blog post, "former Conrad allows on to move case forward against insurance company."
