Former Toronto Maple Leafs hockey enforcer Kurt Walker was on his deathbed when he took a parting shot at his former lawyer, Robert T. Thompson Jr.

“Make sure Thompson doesn’t get away,” Walker instructed Atlanta businessman Mick Barron. Like Walker, Barron said Thompson cheated him of legal fees he paid for work the lawyer never performed. The Buckhead real estate attorney’s failure to follow through after being paid cost Walker his house, Barron said.
