Houston lawyer Randolph Michael Nacol II, a defendant in breach of contract lawsuits filed by a litigation-funding company and by former clients, has now sued two former associates with his firm and Reaud, Morgan & Quinn, alleging they owe him millions for taking his cases.

Nacol, also known as Michael Nacol, alleges in a lawsuit filed on Aug. 19 that Beaumont-based Reaud Morgan took a group of “18-Wheeler” suits from him, costing him at least $2 million in lost profits and additional damages because he had to close his firm. In another petition filed on the same day, Nacol alleges former associates Lori Brown and Jeff Musslewhite, now partners in Brown & Musslewhite in Houston, took a group of personal injury suits from his firm, costing him at least $5 million in lost profits plus other damages related to the closure of his firm.
