202 27 Factual Background and Procedural History Extensive 19-paragraph recitation (ΒΆΒΆ17-35) of Pohl's barratry scheme. Details include: Pohl conspired with wife Dona (owner of Helping Hands Financing LLC), paralegal Edgar Jaimes, and Mississippi runners Walker/Seymour/Ladner operating through sham companies (HH Mississippi, Precision). BP client solicitation involved door-to-door knocking paying runners $300-$400 per client, with Precision receiving $1,500 per client. Auto accident solicitation via Google Alerts paying runners up to $7,500 per client plus 33% of fees. The $1,500/hour rate was a disguise for percentage-based fee sharing. Pohl helped form the GM Settlement Verification Team as a sham GM entity. Santana sent on 'dozens and dozens' of cases, paid $5,000 per case plus percentage. Pohl paid Santana $50,000 cash in three bags marked 'trick or treat' via Jaimes to sign gag agreement. Talley solicited 800+ BP claims and 20+ auto accident cases, carried blank contracts and followed a checklist. Walker was indicted and sent to prison, leading runners to file Mississippi Litigation. Kassab filed four lawsuits for 400+ clients and grievances pursuant to Rule 8.03. Pohl filed this retaliatory suit alleging conversion and theft of trade secrets.
