Woman Sued Con Ed But Lawyer on Contingency Moves For Lien and To Withdraw In SDNY

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 12, updated Jan 13 – Emily Penzo sued Con Edison for discrimination against her on health grounds, and retaliation when she complained.

Then her lawyer moved to withdraw.   

 On January 12 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

The lawyer, Laine Armstrong, complained about Penzo not assisting or agreeing, noting that a contingency retainer agreement had been signed.

Penzo said she had been shocked by the motion to withdraw, and that the entry of a lien will make it more difficult for her to get another lawyer. Judge Vyskocil asked why Penzo had not spoken with Armstrong in two weeks.

 Con Ed's lawyer said he is on vacation, so the delay is without objection.

The case is Penzo v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., 19-cv-7478 (Vyskocil)
