A Texas man filed a legal malpractice lawsuit against Houston-based Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry and one of its shareholders, alleging the defendants failed to avoid an “inherent conflict of interest” when representing him and his business partner when they put his partner’s interests ahead of his.
J. Marcus Laney and two of his businesses—J. Marcus Laney Investments and Laney & Worfe Real Estate—allege in a suit filed Wednesday in state district court in Harris County that the conflict of interest and negligence allowed his business partner, Kevin Worfe, to take advantage of him and his businesses, causing them substantial damage.
