Agran v. Shapiro

BISHOP, J.

I concur, not only in the judgment, but with most all that is said in the opinion. I do not agree with the *Supp. 828criticism of the Bercu case (Matter of New York County Lawyers Assn. (1948), 273 App.Div. 524 [78 N.Y.S.2d 209, 9 A.L.R.2d 787]) in Gardner v. Conway (1951), 234 Minn. 468 [48 N.W.2d 788]. Neither ease furnishes a standard that fits all situations. I am agreed, however, that some of the services for which the plaintiff made his charge must be characterized as legal services, and the consequence is that the judgment was for too large a sum.
