Texas Lawyer's Fee Dispute Revived Eight Years Post-Disbarment

Former Texas attorney R Kent Livesay's legal dispute over unpaid fees has been revived eight years after he lost his license. Livesay is seeking compensation from law firms for case referrals made while he was licensed. The law firms had argued that paying him would violate professional conduct rules, but an appeals court found insufficient evidence to support their claims. This decision reopens the complex legal battle.
