A member of Galveston's prominent Moody family has sued Greer, Herz & Adams, alleging that the boutique law firm represented the Moodys in too many different interests, making so much money off his family that it wouldn't exist in its current form without that work.
Robert Moody Jr., president of Moody Insurance Group, has sued the law firm as well as partner Irwin "Buddy" Herz, and his own brother, Ross Moody. Moody Jr.'s allegations raise questions about conflicts of interest that may arise when a firm or lawyer represents numerous related business entities and family members at the same time.
He is seeking more than $100 million in damages, and he is represented by Houston trial lawyer Anthony Buzbee.
