A former client of Porter Hedges filed a malpractice suit against the Houston-based firm and two of its lawyers on March 22 alleging they mishandled some litigation and overcharged him for the work.

Robert Reedy, Porter Hedges managing partner, says, "We strongly deny the allegations and I’ll note that he is acting pro se. I’ll also tell you this is not the first case he has [filed]against lawyers he’s hired."
