Houston lawyer Paul Kubosh and his firm, along with his bondsman brother Michael Kubosh and Kubosh Bail Bonding, face a civil barratry lawsuit filed against them on Aug. 28.

William Carter, a Harris County resident, alleges in a petition he filed on Aug. 28 that, when he sought a bail quote from Kubosh Bail Bonding, he was provided a quote that also included attorney services. Carter alleges in the petition the defendants' conduct constitutes civil barratry and violates the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
