The Commission for Lawyer Discipline makes nearly identical allegations in separate lawsuits that two Houston lawyers violated a disciplinary rule that says lawyers cannot “engage in conduct that constitutes barratry,” among other rules. But one of the defendants—State Rep. Ron Reynolds, D–Missouri City—said the allegations are “baseless.”
The CFLD alleges that Reynolds and Clyde Miller, of The Miller Law Firm in Houston, improperly solicited legal clients by paying a nonlawyer who contacted car accident victims and “engaged in an ongoing effort to solicit personal injury clients” for both lawyers.
