What’s the quickest way for a firm to start recovering $1.25 million its former managing partner took from it? For Dehay & Elliston, the answer is an agreed judgment.
The Dallas firm filed suit on April 16 against its former managing partner W. Scott Berry. And on April 22, Dallas County Court-at-Law No. 5 Judge Mark Greenberg signed an agreed judgment between Dehay & Elliston and Berry, which results in a judgment of "common-law fraud, fraud by non-disclosure, actual fraud, false pretenses, theft and breach of fiduciary duty" against Berry.
