The case of Alan F. Post, Chartered v. Douglas M. Bregman involves a dispute between two lawyers over the division of a legal fee stemming from a settled case. Post initially agreed to pay Bregman 40% of one-third of the fee but later contested this payment, claiming Bregman did not perform sufficient work to warrant that share and that honoring the agreement would violate Maryland's Rule 1.5(e) regarding fee-sharing among lawyers. The circuit court ruled in favor of Bregman, stating that the fee agreement was clear and enforceable despite Post's claims about ethical violations. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed this decision, leading to further examination by the Maryland Court of Appeals on whether Rule 1.5(e) applies to such agreements and its implications for enforcement.
