433	57	III.B.3. Barratry is relevant to Kassab's defenses of immunity under Texas Rule of Disciplinary Procedure 17.09	Rule 17.09 provides absolute and unqualified immunity for complainants and witnesses in the grievance process, extending to 'all actions at law or in equity.' Pohl admits Kassab was both a complainant and witness. Pohl's suit is at least partially predicated on the grievance proceedings — Pohl seeks fees incurred defending grievances filed by Kassab or his clients. Even Pohl concedes a 'small portion' of his damages are connected to the grievance process. Under Rule 17.09, the entire suit is barred. Cites Crampton and Burch.
