Fox News Radio ran an interview that said Trump may be able to sue the hundreds of law firms that have refused to take him as a client for professional misconduct. How would refusing to serve as Trump's lawyer be actionable?

Do you have a link to that interview, questioner?
Frankly it seems to be nonsense as Cliff G. points out there are a number that attorneys can decline to represent clients. In Trumps case they can require that he provide a substantial downpayment to ensure that hell meet his financial obligations, and even that would probably prevent him from being taken on as a client.
Lets say for the speculation that he did sue and one of the cases reached the point of discovery: Any law firm of substance would savage Trump there and they would be able to prove that nearly any reason that they gave for their refusal would be legal and above board. They wouldnt settle with him out of court as there would be no reason to do so. Theyd shred him and what limited credibility that he had left.
Just FYI: If you see it or hear it on a Fox News station, unless it comes with extensive references its safe to presume its incorrect or untrue

(15,381 posts)When he sues the law firms? No one will take any of his cases.
He'll have to get someone extremely stupid so a Liberty U. graduate fresh off the turnip truck or a graduate of Trump University.

2. He'll lie on the stand or during a deposition, endangering their licenses with sanctions.
3. He'll sue THEM for legal malpractice when they lose.

Think of it as a loss leader for them when they can expect future R clients to actually pay bills!
