154	20	Factual Background and Procedural History	Extensive factual recitation alleging Pohl engaged in systematic barratry through runners (Walker, Seymour, Ladner) who solicited clients through sham entities including Precision Marketing Group, Helping Hands companies, and GM Settlement Verification Team. Details testimony from runners Magdalena Santana and Kenneth Talley about illegal solicitation of auto accident victims and BP oil spill claimants. For BP claims, runners paid $300-$400 per client, Pohl paid Precision $1,500 per client plus percentage of fees disguised as $1,500/hour rate. For auto accidents, Pohl paid $7,500 per client plus 33% of fees. HH Texas paid HH Mississippi $2,500 per referral. Pohl sent Jaimes to Florida with $50,000 cash in bags marked 'trick or treat' to buy Santana's silence. Walker received over $5 million in 'barratry pass-through money.' Walker indicted and sent to prison. Over 400 illegally solicited clients contacted Kassab for representation. Kassab filed four lawsuits and grievances under Rule 8.03. Pohl's suit alleged to be retaliatory.
