An Ohio judge has formally sanctioned an attorney who brought a frivolous suit against a physician

“The plaintiff’s attorney pressed her case even after her own expert witness could offer no evidence that the doctor hadn’t met the prevailing standard of care. The judge ordered her to pay the physician $6,000 plus interest, to cover the expenses he incurred defending himself. Moreover, the judge specified that the plaintiffs themselves wouldn’t be liable for any part of that award. The attorney is appealing.”
