| 27 | 3 | Rule Violation Denials (Paragraphs 37-47) | Pohl denies violating specific Texas Disciplinary Rules. Re fee division (Rules 1.04(f)(1), (f)(2), (g)): Complaint doesn't identify specific client; fee agreement (Exhibit 43) doesn't appear prepared/signed by Pohl; even if it were, both Williamson and Pohl were identified so client would have knowingly retained both. Williamson/Pohl fee split was 60/40 consistent with Texas law (Exhibit 10, Williamson depo pp. 58-59), with flexibility based on actual contribution. Denies violating Rules 1.15(a)(1), (d) (withdrawal); 5.04(a) (fee sharing with non-lawyer); 7.01(a) (firm name); 7.03(b), (d) (paying for referrals — except for reasonable PR/marketing services per Rules); 7.06(a), (b) (continuing improper employment); 8.04(a)(1)-(4), (a)(9), (a)(12), (b) (crime, fraud, deceit, barratry, obstruction). Any unaddressed allegations are denied. |
