Mark found it acceptable to use of flawed contingent fee agreements and how he settled some clients’ cases without prior notice to the clients through the use of limited powers of attorney authorizing him to settle the cases as he thought were in the clients’ best interests. Calello also failed to provide his clients with written settlement statements prior to the distribution of proceeds.
In two instances Calello settled cases on behalf of clients who were deceased, without informing the insurance company that his clients were dead.
