HOUSTON – An area law firm is being accused of notifying Transocean that one of its employees was seeking representation in a lawsuit against the company.
Seeking up to $1 million in damages, Gerald Nielsen filed suit against the Houston law firm of Chamberlain Hrdlicka White Williams & Aughtry, along with attorney Daniel Knight.
According to the lawsuit, on July 13, 2019, Nielsen was seeking representation in a possible retaliation lawsuit and contacted Knight, who practices maritime law, and was told that Knight’s firm represents Transocean and a conflict of interest may exist.
“It would have been fine if the matter ended there, but it did not,” the suit states. “Despite their duty to keep secret … the contents of Nielsen’s communications, Defendants instead decided to use the information to curry favor with one of their clients, Transocean.
HOUSTON – The son of Joel Osteen was interacting with his cell phone right before he rear-ended another vehicle, sending its occupants to the hospital, court records state.
Back in June 2018, Tony Tran and Quy Vu filed a lawsuit seeking more than $1 million in damages against Joel and Victoria Osteen, along with their son Jonathan Osteen.
While court records show notices of non-suits have been filed for Joel and Victoria, the litigation is still proceeding against Jonathan and that a trial has been set for August.
Court records also show that the parties are still in disagreement over which experts should be allowed to testify at trial.
