| 538 | 32 32 | The Cheatham barratry case was reversed by the Houston Court of Appeals on August 30, 2022 and remanded for further proceedings |
| 539 | 32 32 | The court of appeals concluded that clients 'presented more than a scintilla of evidence' of barratry, rendering summary judgment improper |
| 540 | 32 32 | Evidence included proof that 'Pohl and Ammons coordinated the barratry scheme,' that 'Pohl directly funded, and his wife and her company further funded, the solicitation of prospective clients,' and that 'Pohl directed case runners to contact and solicit potential clients on his behalf' |
| 541 | 32 32 | Pohl has no basis to obtain attorney's fees incurred defending barratry litigation when he never requested and was not entitled to recover those fees |
| 542 | 32 32 | The extent of Pohl's alleged damages are not yet known because the Cheatham case is ongoing |
| 543 | 32 32 | If the Cheatham plaintiffs establish barratry claims against Pohl, Pohl cannot recover any damages arising from his unlawful conduct |
| 544 | 32 32 | If Cheatham establishes barratry, Kassab would be entitled to attorney's fees from Pohl plus disgorgement of Pohl's fees and expenses in the underlying cases |
| 545 | 32 32 | Pohl seeks as damages 'any fees, any expenses, hotel rooms, long-distance phone calls, copy costs' — he 'intends to sue Mr. Kassab for all of it' |
| 546 | 32 32 | One of the four barratry lawsuits (Berry) settled with Pohl paying a substantial sum, suggesting the claims had merit |
| 547 | 32 32 | Counsel for Plaintiffs (Jean Frizzell) is opposed to the relief requested |
