A former client has sued Gordon & Rees, the managing partner of the firm’s Dallas office and a firm senior counsel, alleging they changed his hourly attorney-fee agreement to a contingency contract to benefit the defendants, who successfully settled his employment case.
But Gordon & Rees and Dallas office managing partner Robert Bragalone say the former client’s allegations are false and that the change in the attorney-fee contract was the client’s idea. The hourly-fee contract was for a nonlitigation matter prior to the former’s client’s suit, according to Bragalone, who says he speaks on the firm’s behalf.
