The complaint, filed Friday, alleges legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty
A San Diego-based Navy SEAL acquitted of murder in a closely watched war crimes trial this summer filed aagainst two of his former attorneys and a military legal defense nonprofit, according to a complaint filed in federal court in Texas on Friday.
Gallagher also severed ties with UAP, which helps fund legal costs for service members, and asked the organization to stop using his photo and case in its fundraising efforts. He also says Vokey is in breach of his fiduciary duty to him. As his former attorney, Gallagher says, Vokey is obligated not to act in any way detrimental to the outcome of the criminal case in which Vokey represented him.
Parlatore said Gallagher wants Vokey to “leave him alone,” but also is concerned about other service members who might seek representation by him and help from UAP.In an email late Friday, Stackhouse said he has not yet read the complaint.“It’s disappointing it’s come to this, but I’m confident the court will sort it out in the most appropriate manner,” Stackhouse wrote in the email.
Gurfein also distances UAP from Vokey, saying the organization had “no involvement whatsoever” in Vokey’s decision to file his complaint against Gallagher in August.
