A jury has awarded $180,000, including punitive damages, to a former associate of Ronald A. Blumfield P.C., who claimed the firm failed to pay him origination fees promised in his employment agreement.
A jury awarded Matthew Rong $112,500 in breach of contract damages and $67,500 in punitive damages for conversion following a five-day trial in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Rong, who left the Blumfield firm for Messa & Associates in 2012, now practices at McDonnell & Associates in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
