Paragano, Esq. - 032092011 103 Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 103 Roseland, NJ 07068 (973) 618-0400 Attorneys for Plaintiff, Jeffrey Zwirn SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY JEFFREY ZWIRN, LAW DIVISION - BERGEN COUNTY DOCKET NO.: BER-L-2574-20 Plaintiff, Civil Action -against- CERTIFICATION OF COUNSEL MARION B. SOLOMON, ESQ., ARONS & SOLOMON, P.A., Defendants. I, JAY J. RICE, hereby certifies and states as follows: 1 I am an attorney at law in the State of New Jersey, and a partner with the law firm of Nagel Rice, LLP, attorneys for Plaintiff, and as such am fully familiar with the facts of this case. This certification is in support of Plaintiff’s Motion for an order quashing Defendants’ supplemental discovery requests and ordering party depositions. 2 This matter involves Plaintiff's claims for legal malpractice against Defendants, Marion B. Solomon, Esq. and Arons & Solomon, P.A. (hereinafter “Defendants” ) for their representation during Plaintiff’s divorce litigation. 3 Plaintiff’s present motion seeks intervention from the Court based upon a history of delay by the Defendants over the BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 2 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 last eighteen (18) months. 4 More specifically, throughout this litigation, Plaintiff’s right to depose Defendants has been impeded, including through violations of court orders issued by Your Honor. Defendants now have requested voluminous discovery that include requests that are in violation of the attorney/client privilege and work product doctrine, that are overly burdensome, that are not calculated to lead to any discoverable evidence, that are irrelevant, harassing and are part of the defendants' fishing expedition strategy. Defendants now refuse to produce their witnesses for depositions until the latest discovery demands are met. 5 By way of background, Plaintiff filed suit against Defendants in or about April 30, 2020. In brief, the complaint is a legal malpractice claim against defendants who represented plaintiff in an underlying matrimonial action. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants were directed to accept a settlement proposal offered by counsel for Plaintiff’s wife in or about August 30, 2018. Defendant failed to accept the offer, but rather submitted a draft marital settlement agreement ("MSA") that contained material conditions not included in the wife's offer. The trial court determined that, because of these added conditions by the defendants, no settlement was reached. Months later and with new counsel, Plaintiff entered into a MSA that was and is substantially more expensive. Plaintiff’s damages include the BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 3 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 difference between the earlier offer by the wife and the final settlement terms. 6 Defendants filed their answer and counterclaim on or about June 5, 2020. 7 Thereafter, Plaintiff submitted written discovery requests on July 9, 2020 and October 13, 2020. Plaintiff was forced to advise Defendants in writing of overdue responses on October 2, 2020, November 9, 2020 and December 7, 2020. Deficiency letters were sent on March 10, 2021 and April 28, 2021. 8 Defendants served discovery requests on December 22 2020, which were responded to within 60 days and have been subsequently supplemented in March and May 2021. 9 Plaintiff submitted deposition notices for the depositions of Defendants on September 25, 2020, November 4, 2020, January 22, 2021 and again on June 2, 2021. 10. Plaintiff has therefore been seeking the deposition of Defendants for almost eighteen (18) months. In the process and with the aid of the Court, a court order was agreed to setting forth that these depositions take place before September 15, 2021. Defendants then ignored the terms of the order. 11. In addition, Plaintiff has had to file four separate motions to compel Defendants to comply with discovery obligations. 12. In or about November 30, 2021, some eighteen (18) months after issue was joined, Defendants served 72 supplemental document BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 4 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 requests, as well as new subpoenas served on Plaintiff's Matrimonial counsel who succeeded defendants (Erin Thompson, Esq. and Bastarrika & Sota, Esqs.). 13. More recently as counsel was resolving these November 2021 discovery requests, defendants served three new subpoenas — one on the attorney who represented Plaintiff in his appeal of the trial court order denying the existence of the agreed-upon settlement. Subpoenas were also served on Plaintiff's economic expert in the matrimonial case and the attorney for Plaintiff’s wife. Plaintiff has subsequently moved to quash the former two subpoenas as violation of the attorney/client privilege and work product doctrine, which is pending before Your Honor. 14. Disputes as to the subpoenas served by Defendants upon Erin Thompson and Bastarrika Soto, Esqs., have been resolved by the parties. Plaintiff has agreed to waive the attorney/client privilege for that time period up to and including the date the underlying MSA was agreed to and placed on the record. For the time period subsequent to this date, if Plaintiff seeks to assert attorney/client privilege, he will do so for only those documents that are not relevant and would not lead to relevant knowledge and will provide a privilege log on same. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and accurate copy of Plaintiff’s counsel’s letter to subpoena parties. 15. Therefore, at issue for the court's determination is BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 5 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 Defendants’ unresolved document demands and Plaintiff’s response to same. Attached hereto as Exhibit B & Exhibit C are Defendants’ Supplemental Discovery Requests and Plaintiff’s counsel’s letter dated February 10, 2022. 16. As more specifically set forth in Plaintiff’s counsel’s letter of February 10, 2022, of the seventy-two (72) supplemental requests, Plaintiff has no documentation in regard to twenty (20) of the requests and eleven (11) of the requests have been voluntarily withdrawn. Documents in regard to fourteen (14) requests have been or will be produced. 17. Therefore, Plaintiff has declined to produce twenty- seven (27) requests, which fall into three categories. 18. First, request no. 61 seeks copies of all retainer agreements for all matters in which Plaintiff has testified as an expert (his business capacity) in the past five years, including all billing payments, copies of expert reports and transcript of testimony of Mr. Zwirn testifying here as an expert. Such a document request could be considered reasonable if Mr. Zwirn was testifying as an expert. Mr. Zwirn is in this case, however, is a fact witness. Defendants have failed to offer any rationale or justification for the production of such documents. Moreover, over the past five (5) years, Mr. Zwirn has been retained as an expert in 117 cases, making a response to this request clearly burdensome and oppressive and would involve BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 6 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 Matters subject to confidentiality agreements. 19. Second, the most significant issue in regard to the balance of the requests are for a slew of financial records. Initially, it should be noted that Plaintiff has produced all financial records provided to his successor counsel, Erin Thompson, that would have been in counsel's possession when the MSA was put on the record. 20. Third, Plaintiff has produced the portion of his federal tax returns for 2018, 2019 and 2020 that show that his income has not been reduced such that he could not seek a modification and reduction of his alimony obligations. 21. These are the two areas where Mr. Zwirn's financial history is relevant to the issues in this case. This production includes all the financial documentation required under New Jersey Rules for submission of a case information statement. 22. Defendants have made the following requests seeking financial information for the time period 2014 to the present from all companies, Mr. Zwirn has ownership in. Specifically, defendants seek as follows: Financial statements (No. 22); Supplemental information and internal management reports (No. 22); All interim financial statements (No. 23); Supplemental information and internal management reports (No. 23); Federal and state tax returns, including all schedules attached (No. 24); BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 7 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 Electronic copies of Quick Books, general ledger databases — includes profit and loss statements and balance sheets (No. 25); All budgets forecasting projections, business plans and supplemental schedules (No. 28); All real estate, business, equipment and inventory appraisals and consulting reports (No. 31); Details on all buy-in or buy-out transactions (No. 32); 10 All offers to buy, including efforts to merge or consolidate (No. 33); 11 All offers to buy another entity (No. 34); 12 All pension and profit-sharing plans, copies of trustee reports (No. 35); 13 Compensation for each of the top 5 compensated individuals (No. 39); 14 Copies of plaintiffs federal and state tax returns (returns prior to the settlement being put on record were produced) (No 40); 15 All documents supplied to any accountant or tax preparer (No. 41): 16 Copies of all documents regarding any audit of plaintiffs tax returns (No. 42); 17 Copies of all personal financial statements (No. 43); 18 Copies of all documents relating to business expenses, including telephone, credit card, etc. (No. 45); 19 All contracts, agreements or purchase orders entered by plaintiff (No. 46); 20 All documents concerning any contracts, agreements or purchase orders negotiated (No. 47); 21 All contracts, agreements or purchase orders (No. 48); 22 All documents concerning any agreements or purchase orders (No. 49) 23 Copies of documents regarding all real estate in which plaintiff has an interest (No. 62); 24 Copies of all applications by plaintiff for credit, including mortgage applications, lease applications, car leases, credit cards (No. 63); 25 Copies of all credit cards which plaintiff has held or had use (No. 65); 26 True statements of all bank, stock, money market or other investment accounts (No. 67); 27 All documents concerning any application plaintiff made to lease a vehicle (No. 68). BER-L-002574-20 03/02/2022 4:04:00 PM Pg 8 of 41 Trans ID: LCV2022875941 23. There can be no question that the above documents taken together are burdensome, oppressive and simply not relevant to the issues in this action. 24. It is significant that, pursuant to R. 5:5-2, parties to a matrimonial action are obligated to comply with the information required by the case information statement that requires only the production of one year of filed tax returns (this has already been produced to Defendants) . 25. As all the financial documents relied upon or in the possession of Plaintiff’s successor marital attorney have and will be produced, this is no basis for the outrageous requests seeking literally five (5) years of every business documents Plaintiff may have. It is, at best, a fishing expedition that the Court should not allow. 26. Lastly, in regard to Request No. 70, Defendants seek to obtain records of Plaintiff’s payments to or for Plaintiff's daughter Anna. Anna is not a minor and there is no obligation under the MSA to provide for her. Thus, any payments made by Plaintiff to his daughter have no relevance to the pending action. 27. Based upon the above, it is therefore respectfully requested that the Court enter an order quashing Defendant’s supplemental discovery requests as detailed above and compelling the depositions of all parties to be completed by April 15, 2022. I certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true.
