Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York March 3, 2011 (Fariello v. Checkmate Holdings, LLC)

The motion court erred by dismissing the quantum meruit claim. Accepting the allegations of the complaint as true (see Leon v Martinez, 84 NY2d 83, 87-88 [1994]), plaintiff law firm was discharged without cause and thus, its remedy is “to recovert ] in quantum meruit the reasonable value of the services rendered” (Campagnola v Mulholland, Minion & Roe, 76 NY2d 38, 44 [1990]; see Nabi v Sells, 70
