The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation of Arizona says it lost out on millions of dollars due to bad work by the Steptoe & Johnson law firm.
The tribe relied on the firm to negotiate agreements for three loans. But the tribe says the firm changed the terms of the deal without consent.
As a result, the tribe says it lost out on at least $16 million. The lawsuit seeks damages for negligence, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty.
