The former producing partner of action movie star Steven Seagal has sued the law firm of Loeb & Loeb for $25 million, alleging malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty.
Julius R. Nasso, who last fall pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court to trying to extort money from Seagal, is claiming Loeb & Loeb represented him and the actor both as partners in Seagal-Nasso Productions. The firm then allegedly violated its obligations to Nasso by taking Seagal's side in a subsequent dispute and representing Seagal in the grand jury investigation that led to Nasso's indictment.
