Here is a cross-border story about a Walgreen store, the Mass Land Court, legal malpractice, and discipline of attorneys.
"The state agency that oversees lawyers has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to discipline James P. Killoran for advice he offered and an emphatic promise he made during a 1999 Town Meeting, actions that paved the way for a controversial Walgreens drug store at Buffinton and West County streets.
The company developing the Walgreens store, the Richmond Company, has sued Killoran for legal malpractice.
Richmond alleges that when it hired Killoran, he failed to inform the company of two issues surrounding that land, issues that have sent the case to Massachusetts Land Court for a lengthy — and expensive — trial.
Richmond alleges that the omissions have cost it in excess of $250,000 in development expenses. "
