Hahaha. I was recently wondering what happened to that lawsuit.
Not mentioned in the article: they were both lawyers. Emphasis on were as they have been disbarred and both have spent time in jail because of this school yard spat.

His Bar profile says he is not eligible to practice resulting from an "interim suspension after conviction". Whatever that means.
