ST. LOUIS - Multiple defendants from Texas were pinned in a March 17 lawsuit from law firm Armstrong Teasdale LLP, which claims the defendants have more than $3.5 million in outstanding legal fees.
According to documents filed in federal court, defendant Matt Martorello hired Armstrong Teasdale in October 2018 as representation for several lawsuits, including suits involving defendants Gallant Capital LLC and Eventide Credit Acquisitions LLC.
Armstrong represented the defendants in more than a dozen lawsuits and arbitrations from 2018 to 2020. In September 2020, the defendant allegedly told the plaintiff that Armstrong was being replaced as their representation, and have failed to pay more than $3.5 million in outstanding balances for legal fees.
All defendants in the case are Matt Martorello, Rebecca Martorello, Justin Martorello, Gallant Capital LLC, Liont LLC and Eventide Credit Acquisitions LLC.
The defendants are charged with suit on account, breach of contract and quantum meruit. Armstrong requests the court demand the balance to be paid, plus 9% interest per year that the balance remains unpaid.
Armstrong is represented by Thomas B. Weaver.
