Opinion
March 9, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lonschein, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The Supreme Court properly ruled that the plaintiff's former attorney, Morris J. Eisen, was entitled to quantum meruit compensation for work done on the plaintiffs' case prior to his disbarment. It is undisputed that the disbarment did not relate to any misconduct in the plaintiffs' case and that Eisen was not discharged for cause by the plaintiffs. Therefore, he is entitled to quantum meruit compensation for his services ( see, 22 NYCRR 690.10 [b]; Cappocia v. Brognano, 126 A.D.2d 323, 326; Greenberg v. Cohn, 153 Misc.2d 495)
The appellant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review.
Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Miller and Krausman, JJ., concur.
