Catholic church settles lawsuit against lawyers

The law firm of Paine Hamblen has settled a bankruptcy malpractice case regarding its multi-million dollar representation of the Catholic Diocese of Spokane. A settlement signed Friday by the law firm and the church ends the acrimonious lawsuit and closes a bankruptcy case that was first filed in December 2004.
The settlement amount and some other terms were not disclosed, though neither side was awarded lawyer fees and court costs. The two sides reached the agreement with the help of retired U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ralph Mabey, who led a mediation effort in mid-January.
