172	23	Background	Recounts the history of Pohl's engagement of Precision/the Runners to illegally solicit clients, the Federal Court Case in Mississippi (Runners sued Pohl for unpaid fees for 'public relations and marketing services'), Kassab's investigation after hearing about solicitation, his State Bar-approved advertisement letters to illegally solicited persons, more than 400 signed representation contracts, and the four Harris County barratry suits (Berry settled, Cheatham reversed on appeal, Brumfield and Gandy dismissed on limitations). Pohl filed this suit for conversion/trade secrets. Kassab and clients executed 242 Limited Assignments to revive barratry claims as counterclaims under Section 16.069, with Kassab retaining 40% contingency fee and 60% going to clients.
