In a reversal of roles, a cardiothoracic surgeon who was convicted two years ago of murdering his wife has sued his former defense attorney for legal malpractice and unprofessional behavior. Dr. Richard W. Illes has filed suit against Williamsport lawyer George Lepley and is seeking damages of $26 million because Lepley did not adequately advise him and Dr. Illes suffered a bad legal outcome as Lepley did not keep him out of jail. The attorney has apparently stated that it is the surgeon’s fault he had a bad legal outcome.
