A former lawyer at Walne Law has filed a lawsuit against the Houston firm seeking a declaratory judgment that he is entitled to 25 percent of the fee from a contract dispute that is set for trial in October.

Andrew Raish, now an in-house lawyer at Buc-ee’s in Lake Jackson, is seeking a declaratory judgment that his employment contract with the firm is enforceable and he is entitled to a percentage of any fee generated from the suit, along with actual and punitive damages. He seeks up to $1 million from Walne Law.
