Lurid allegations flew in a Cleveland courtroom after the breakup of medical-malpractice and personal-injury firm Kampinski & Mellino. A jury eventually ordered Charles Kampinski to pay almost $621,000 to Christopher Mellino, who had resigned from the firm. He can probably afford it: “Trial evidence indicated Kampinski earned about $36 million between 1997 and 2001 — $15.8 million in 2000 alone. Mellino, his longtime sidekick, raked in some $5.5 million over that span — peaking at $2.53 million in 2000 — under a pay scale that gave him 1 percent of the firm’s net fees for every year he worked there.” (Jim Nichols, “Ruling ends bad breakup of lawyers”, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Jun. 18) MedPundit (Jun. 18) comments. Despite the Cleveland paper’s description of the law firm as “one of Ohio’s most successful personal-injury and medical-malpractice firms”, it does not boast a particularly high Google profile, currently scoring only a dozen or so hits under its former name.
