193	26	Facts	Extensive factual background detailing Pohl's barratry scheme. Mississippi Litigation filed October 18, 2014 by Walker, Ladner, Seymour, and Precision against Pohl. They alleged a joint venture to solicit BP oil spill and auto accident clients for Pohl, who then failed to pay them. Walker testified the arrangement was barratry and he was 'a pass-through for barratry money.' Over $5 million paid through the scheme via Pohl's wife's company 'Helping Hands Financing' to Precision to individual runners. Runners paid $2,500-$5,000 per auto accident client solicited. Santana sent on 'dozens and dozens of car wreck cases' and instructed to approach victims in hospitals and at funerals. Pohl paid Santana $50,000 cash via Jaimes to sign a gag agreement. Talley solicited over 800 BP claims ($75-$350 each) and over 20 auto accident cases ($1,400 plus expenses each). Favre purchased Precision in May 2016. Kassab obtained PACER information and client lists from Favre/Nicholson, ultimately representing more than 400 individuals. Kassab filed four barratry lawsuits and grievances. Pohl filed this suit in retaliation.
