Elana Elbogen, a litigator
at Kelley Drye in New York, married David Glatt at Cipriani
42nd St. this summer. She wasn't happy with the floral
arrangements. So she sued. Elana and her brand new husband
David Glatt are charging that Posy Floral Design Studio
ruined their color scheme and caused them extreme distress
by providing inexpensive pastel pink and green hydrangeas
instead of the more expensive dark rust and green hydrangeas
that had been agreed upon.
The Glatts also charge that wilted and brown flowers were
used, some centerpieces were not filled with water, and
dirty/dusty vases were used.The flowers for the event cost
just under twenty-seven thousand dollars but the Glatts
are suing for four hundred thousand dollar for restitution
and damages.
Stamos Arakas, the florist, said that he and his wife, Paula,
tried to match the color of the hydrangeas with a picture
Glatt had given them, but explained to her that the colors
might not look the same. ''My father used to tell me, 'Don't
deal with the lawyers,'' Arakas said. ''Maybe he was right,
God bless his soul.''
The Law Blog has this and a healthy discussion
here: "Law Blog Question of the Day: Stamos’s comment — “Don’t
deal with lawyers” — hits the Law Blog right
where it hurts. But over the past week we’ve read two
other stories about lawyer plaintiffs: a New York attorney
has sued his building over roaches (here), and an Atlanta
lawyer was disbarred for being “stubbornly litigious” (here).
This got us wondering, Law Blog readers: Statistically speaking,
are lawyers any more litigious than non-lawyers?"
