265	35	I. Factual Background	Pohl engaged Precision Marketing Group to provide PR services, gather evidence, and screen clients for BP and motor vehicle claims. Precision gained access to Pohl's confidential information. Favre, managing member of Precision, took physical copies of Pohl's information and possession of stolen computers. In November 2016, Montague, Nicholson, and Kassab arranged to purchase Pohl's stolen information from Favre for $250,000 plus bonuses, taking possession in December 2016. They valued and used the information to contact and solicit Pohl's clients. Defendants' barratry claims on behalf of 400+ plaintiffs have been nearly a complete failure — all but four resolved in Pohl's favor, and all State Bar grievances were rejected with findings that conduct did not violate disciplinary rules. Defendants' two core fallacies: (1) insisting Pohl didn't own his own client materials, and (2) seeking to relitigate failed barratry claims.
