Digest
HB 4573 strengthens civil liability and imposes sanctions on attorneys for filing groundless lawsuits related to barratry (illegal solicitation of clients by lawyers). The bill allows clients to void legal service contracts obtained through barratry and recover damages. It also requires courts to sanction attorneys who file meritless barratry claims, making them pay legal fees and additional deterrent penalties.
