A gloves-off legal fight questioning legal fees charged by a Boston-based law firm is headed for a Collin County jury trial. In an opinion released New Year's Day, a Texas appeals court refused to dismiss fraud allegations that attorneys for Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Door LLP submitted millions in questionable legal fees and expenses for its defense of a former executive of software company. Attorneys for Dallas-based  Rose•Walker, L.L.P., filed the lawsuit on behalf of software maker McAfee Inc., charging that dozens of different WilmerHale attorneys submitted millions of dollars in unjustifiable fees, including luxury hotel rooms, lavish meals and bar tabs in their defense of former CFO Prabhat Goyal. "This ruling says that if you defraud someone in Texas, you're going to be brought before a Texas court and held accountable," says Rose•Walker co-founder Marty Rose.
