"One of Engelhorn's lawyers, Tony Williams, says the heir was "tricked" into signing the gift paperwork when Bolog gave it to her one morning while she was vacationing on Cape Cod in Massachusetts."
"Bolog's defense hinges on a three-page document signed by Engelhorn that says she insisted on making the gift and did so without consulting anyone."
Claudia Engelhorn, a pharmaceutical heiress, alleges that lawyer Erik Bolog deceived her into giving him $10 million, corresponding with a prior legal victory. Engelhorn argues that Bologâs firm, Whiteford, Taylor & Preston, failed to intervene. Bolog maintains that a signed document proves the gift was her voluntary decision. Engelhornâs claims stem from an incident where she asserts that Bolog misrepresented the context of the gift, which was supposedly influenced by alcohol. This case raises questions about ethical practices in attorney-client relationships and the validity of consent under potentially intoxicated conditions.
