Tydings & Rosenberg, LLP v. Zorzit
Annotate this CaseIn the circuit court, Appellant, a law firm, filed a motion to intervene in the case of Julie Zorzit v. John Zorzit (Appellee), seeking to recover counsel fees that it earned while representing Julie. The circuit court denied Appellant's motion and entered a judgment of absolute divorce and for ancillary relief. The Court of Appeals issued a writ of certiorari to address the issue of whether the law firm had the right to intervene in the domestic relations case in order to recover counsel fees. The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and vacated in part, holding that because the circuit court was authorized by Md. Code Ann. Fam. Law 7-107(f) to enter judgment in favor of Appellant and against Appellee, Md. R. Civ. P. 2-214(a)(2) provided Appellant with the right to intervene in the domestic relations proceeding involving Appellee and Appellant's former client, the "nonmonied" spouse.
