Steven Danzig (plaintiff) was approached by an attorney, Jeffrey Danzig (defendant), to solicit legal clients in exchange for one-third of the client’s fee. Washington law prohibited attorneys from entering this type of agreement. Additionally, these agreements were a violation of the rules of professional conduct for attorneys in the State of Washington. Steven solicited several clients and billed Jeffrey at an hourly rate that always approximately equaled one-third of the client’s fee. In March 1993, Steven solicited a client for Jeffery but was not paid. One-third of the fee for this client would have been approximately $89,000. Steven sued Jeffrey for breach of contract. The trial court dismissed the lawsuit because the contract was illegal. Steven appealed to the Washington Court of Appeals.
