l'lai111iff·.~ Original Petit10n J. Ben11e11 IV/1ite. P.C 1·. ll'endell Reeder Page./ 0006 Wood County Judgment had been completed. The Supreme Court reversed the Wood County

judgment liens pertaining to the Wood County Judgment had been removed. That task was

Plaintiff the just and true balance owed.

MOTION TO DISQUALIFY J. KEITH MAYO AND .MAYO MENDOLIA & VICE, L.L.P. AS ATTORNEYS FOR DEFENDANT "VENDELL REEDER

COl'vIES NOW, J. Bennett White, P.C. ("JEW, PC"), Petitioner, filing this Motion to

Disqualify J. Keith Mayo and Mayo Mendolia & Vice, L.L.P as attorneys for Defendant,

Wendell Reeder ("Reeder"), and would show to the Court as follows:

Summary ofMotion: Defendant's law firm should be disqualified because it now employs a legal assistant previously employed by Plaintiff.

1. Jennifer Smith ("Smith") is currently employed as a legal assistant by Mayo

Mendolia & Vice, L.L.P ("Ml'vIV"). She was previously employed by J. Bennett White, P.C. in

that same capacity. During the time Smith was employed by JEW, PC, she was privy to JEW,

PC's privileged and confidential information. With this being a lawsuit for collection of

attorneys' fees owed, Smith's employment with MMV subjects her to competing loyalties in

honoring the client confidences gained while working at JEW, PC against her cun-ent obligation

of loyalty to M1v1V and its clients. MMV's representation of Reeder jeopardizes Smith's ability

to honor Plaintiff's confidences.

2. More importantly, as an employee of JEW, PC, Smith has first-hand knowledge

of the conectness of Plaintiff's claim against Reeder. In fact, some portion of the amount owed

is for services perfonned by Smith. Based on Smith's personal knowledge of the validity of

Plaintiffs claim and the potential that she could be called as a witness, P~S/;\Nt.J.EQ

0013 06/11/2015 THU 13: 08 FAX 903 597 4330 J BENNETT WHITE PC, ATTY id!004/005

be prejudiced by her knO\vledge that to provide truthful testimony would be detiimenta I to her

employment with Ml\IIV and to Reeder. Accepting representation that would compromise the

testimony of a fact witness creates an impennissible conflict of interest.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Plaintiff prays that upon hearing the

motion, the Cout1 grant the motion and disqualify J. Keith 1vfayo and Mayo Mendolia & Vice,

L.L.P as attorneys for Defendant Wendell Reeder. Plaintiff also seeks all such other and further

relief as may be just and proper.

J. BENNETT WHITE, P.C. § IN THE DISTRICT COURT § VS. § IN AND FOR § WENDELL REEDER § WOOD COUNTY, TEXAS

AFFIDAVlT OF J. BENNETT WHITE

BEFORE ME, THE UNDERSIGNED AUTHORITY on this day personally appeared J.

Bennett White, who, being duly sworn by me, deposed and said as follows:

"My name is J. BENNETT WHITE. I am at least 21 years of age, of sound mind, capable of making this Affidavit, and competent to testify to the matters stated herein. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein, each of which is true and correct. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Texas and have practiced law in Tyler, Smith County, Texas since 1985. I am employed by J. Bennett White, P.C., Plaintiff, as an attorney.

"Sometime in approximately June, 2008, I had a lunch meeting with Wendell Reeder at Friday's restaurant in Tyler, Texas. Prior to that time I had done work for Clarksville Oil and Gas, a company operated by Mr. Reeder, but I had not done any significant work for him, individually. During that meeting, he told me about having recently lost a trial in which he was sued in Wood County, Texas. As a result of the recent trial, Mr. Reeder had a judgment entered against him in excess of one million dollars. During that meeting, he inquired whether appealing the judgment was something that my office could do. I indicated that we could, that I had extensive experience in appellate matters, and that I was willing to investigate the prospects for a successful appeal. In June, 2008, J. Bennett \Vhite, P.C. internally created Matter Number 08-1082 (the "Fry Appeal") and began charging services to that matter in conjunction with appealing the Wood County judgment against l\!Ir. Reeder.

"Also in June, 2008, J. Bennett White, P.C. internally created Matter Number 08-1086 ("Reeder - General"). The General matter was used to record time spent for Mr. Reeder, but not directly related to the appeal of the Wood County judgment.

"The Wood County judgment against lVIr. Reeder arose out of oil and gas

operatin; activities conducted in an area commonly kno~~n as the Forest Hill/Harris Sand Unit. Shortly after the ~~~ork began on the Fry Appeal, I~I~•. Reeder had other issues arise with regard to the ongoing activities in the Forest Hill!Hai7-is Sind Unit. In November, 2003, J. Bennett White, P.C. internally created Matter Number 03-1164 ("Forest Hill/Harris Sand Unit").

"The 12~' District Court of Appeals entered its judgment on the appeal of the ~~ood County judgment in approximately Au;ust, 2010. In November, 2010, J. Bennett White, P.C. inteinall_y created Matter Number- 10-1104 (the "Supreme Court Appeal").

"In Nlay, 2011, NIr. Reeder called ine about representing him in a la~~~suit that had been filed against him by Jamestown Insurance Company. J~mesto~~~n Insurance had been NIr. Reeder's general liability insurance company at the trine of the activities that gave rise to the Wood County judgment. NIr. Reeder had requested that Jamesto~~~n Insurance defend and indemnify him from the claims in the Wood Countv la~~~suit. In response, Jamestown filed a declaratory judgment action in the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of Teas. In 1VIay, 2011, J. Bennett ~~Vhile, P.C. interr►ally created 1Vlatter Number- 11-1044 ("Jamestown Insurance v.").

"In December, 2011, ongoing activities in the x}02°d District Court in Wood County relating to the `'Vood County 1~~~~suit gave rise to legal services Ueing provided on I~~Ir. Reeder's behalf In DecemUer, 2011, J. Bennett White, P.C. internally created Matter Number ll-1104 ("Reeder v. Fry").

"In approlimately NIay, 2012, the federal district court for the Southern District of Texas rendered its decision in favor of Jamestown Insurance Company. 1~I~~. Reeder requested that the judgment he appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. In July, 2012, J. Bennett White, P.C. internally created Matter NumUer 12-1041 (the "Jamesto~~n Insurance Appeal").

"lluring the first year that the Fry Appeal matter was open (6/0~ to 5/09), NI►-. Reeder paid his account balances generally in a timely manner. Through May, 2009, the Valance ~~~as fully paid; ho~~~ever, once bricfin~ for- the Court of Appeals began in earnest, the account balance quickly escalated. In approximately July, 2009, 1~~I~-. Reeder made a request of me with regard to his account Valance. He proposed that he would continue to direct work on behalf of Clai~sville Oil and Gas Company to J. Bennett ~'Vhite, P.C. and ~~~ould see to it that the bills for the ~~~ork provided to Clarksville Oil and Uas ~,~~ere paid in a timely manner if J. Bennett White, P.C. would defer collection on his personal account until the appeal of the Fry Judgment ~~~as concluded. NI~~. Reeder's proposal did not include any discounts, debt forgiveness, or contingencies — he requested that I defer collection, nothing more. At that. time, I accepted his proposal and agreed.

"Although there were some intennittent payments on his individual account, the payments generally stopped in August, 2009. By October, 2010, the unpaid balance on the Fry Appeal was approximately $90,000. Mr. Reeder made a $5,000 payment in December, 2010.

"In June, 2012, J. Bennett White, P.C. began charging interest on its clients' unpaid account balances. In the months preceding the enactment of that policy, a notice was included in each client's bill explaining the amount and basis for the intt:rest charge. A hue and coITect copy of that Notice is attached and incorporated as Exhibit 1. Attached and incorporated as Exhibit 2 is a true and c01Tect copy of the cover page to l\::lr. Reeder's May 20, 2012 invoice. The invoice includes the notation that "past due balances will be charged interest at the rate of 12% per annum, compounded monthly." Attached and incmporated as Exhibit 3 is a true and coITect copy of the cover page to l\/Ir. Reeder's June 20, 2012 invoice. That invoice also includes the same notation.

"Prior to the implementation of the interest charge, Mr. Reeder's account balance on the Fry Appeal was $91,540.57. Subsequently, there has been an accrual of interest charges against the account, two payments of interest, and a $5,000 payment in January, 2013. As of that payment, the account balance was $91,210.39. Between January, 2013 and March, 2015, interest charges have increased the account balance to $114,904.40. As of March 20, 2015, the unpaid balance due and owing on the Fry Appeal matter was $114,904.40. A true and correct copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and incmporated as Exhibit 4. All services reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the patties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"On the Forest Hill/Harris Sands Unit matter, Mr. Reeder initially began by paying account balances in an intennittent manner. However, as of May, 2011, the account for this matter was paid in full with a zero balance outstanding. Subsequently, charges were incurred on this matter in the amount of $1,960.25. Beginning in June, 2012, J. Bennett White, P.C. began charging interest on its clients' unpaid account balances. Subsequently, interest charges on this account increased the balance to $2,356.89 through February, 2015. In March, 2015, a payment in the amount of $1,611.94 was applied to this account balance, leaving an unpaid balance at that time in the amount of $744.95. On March 20, 2015, an additional interest charge of $3 .13 was applied to this account leaving the unpaid balance on this account due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding as of March 20, 2015 in the amount of $748.08. A true and coITect copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and inco1porated as Exhibit 5. All se1vices reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the parties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"On Mr. Reeder's General matter, the account balance was paid in full through March, 2011. At that time, charges were applied to that account for fees in the amount of $8,377.32, which was the balance as of May 20, 2012 prior to the institution of the interest charge on unpaid client balances by J. Bennett White, P.C. Subsequently, interest charges on this account increased the account balance to $10,930.36 through January, 2015. The charges for February, 2015 and the interest charged for that month increased the account balance to $ll,083.20. On March 2, 2015, a payment in the amount of $6,062.86 was applied to the account balance, leaving an unpaid balance in the amount of $5,020.34 as of March 20, 2015. Additional interest charged to the account balance resulted in a balance due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding in the amount of $5,055.01 as of March 20, 2015. A true and cotTect copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and inc01porated as Exhibit 6. All services reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the parties' agreement The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"Beginning in November, 2010, J. Bennett White, P.C. started working on appealing the ruling of the lih District Court of Appeals to the Texas Supreme Court. In the Supreme Court matter, the account balance was paid through October 20, 2011. After that time, the unpaid balance on that account increased to $20,038.53, as of May 20, 2012. Subsequently, there have been interest charges, charges for services rendered, and payments received that were credited against the account balance. As of April 20, 2013, the last time any fees were charged to that account, the unpaid balance was $25,773.26. Subsequently, the accrual of interest through February 20, 2015 increased the account balance to $31,114.24. On March 2, 2015, payment in the amount of $23,491.65 was applied to the account balance, leaving an unpaid balance of $7,622.59. On March 20, 2015, an additional interest charge of $19.84 was added to the account, leaving a balance in the amount of $7,642.43, which is cmTently due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding, as of l'vlarch 20, 2015. A true and cotTect copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit 7. All se1vices reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the parties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"On the Jamestown Insurance matter, Mr. Reeder paid the first invoice in June, 2011. Subsequently, the account balance increased to $24,011.68 through the May 20, 2012 invoice. Since that time, the accrual of interest and charges increased the account balance to $24,294.37 as of September 17, 2012, the last time a payment was applied to this matter. Subsequent accrual of interest charges has increased the account balance to $31,856.53 through March 20, 2015, which amount is due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding. A true and cotTect copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit 8. All se1vices reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and

necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the parties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"On the Reeder v. Fry matter, the account balance was never paid in full from the time that matter was first created. The balance increased to $31,988.39 through August 20, 2014. In September, 2014, payment was applied to the account balance in the amount of $8,582.75, reducing the balance to $23,405.64. Subsequent charges of fees and interest increased the account to $26,044.26 as of October 20, 2014. On November 14, 2014, a payment was applied to the account balance in the amount of $5,779.50, leaving an unpaid balance of $20,264.76. Subsequent accrual of charges for fees and interest raised the account balance to $22,366.80 as of March 20, 2015, which is due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding. A true and correct copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit 9. All services reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services conformed to the parties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"On the Jamestown Appeal, the account balance was never paid in full from the time the se1vices were first provided in that matter. Beginning in July, 2012, fees increased the account balance to $24,327.95 through March 20, 2013. Subsequent charges of interest increased the account balance to $30,023.85 as of March 20, 2015, which is due, owing, unpaid, and outstanding. A ttue and correct copy of a summary of the account activity is attached hereto and incorporated as Exhibit 10. All services reflected on that billing summary were reasonable and necessary, and the hourly rates charged for those services confonned to the parties' agreement. The interest charges were also in compliance with the policy stated.

"During the entire period between 2009 and 2014, I had regular discussions with Mr. Reeder about his plans on paying these accumulated balances. He would occasionally remit some payment as the exhibits demonstrate; however, he consistently indicated that he would pay the full amount once the Fry Appeal was completed. Mr. Reeder explained to me that he had substantial real estate holdings to which the land title was encumbered by the judgment lien that had been filed by the judgment creditors on the Wood County Judgment. Mr. Reeder indicated that his boffowing power to provide capital for Clarksville Oil and Gas had been severely undennined by the judgment lien, and that it had left his business operations with far less capital than he had become accustomed to having available to operate. Mr. Reeder assured me that once the appeals were concluded and the judgment liens were removed from his real estate, he would have the ability to bon-ow the funds needed to pay the unpaid balances in full. In reliance on Mr. Reeder's assurances and promises, J. Bennett White, P.C. continued to provide services in these matters and to allow unpaid balances to increase. The Texas Supreme Comt ultimately reversed a substantial

portion of the Wood County Judgment. However, it still took more than a year of additional litigation with the other Wood County parties before the judgment liens were finally released. The final lien releases were provided to Mr. Reeder in either October or November of 2014. At that time, l'vir. Reeder assured me that he had a real estate closing scheduled for December, 2014 that would allow the unpaid balances to be paid, in full. On December 3, 2014, I wrote l'vir. Reeder a letter to summarize the balances owed on these various matters. A hue and cotTect copy of that letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 11.

"The real estate closing was postponed and rescheduled over a period of several months; however, both Mr. Reeder and his agent Barbara Watts kept J. Bennett White, P.C. informed on the progress and status of the closing either by phone or by email. At some time prior to the closing, it was explained to me that the closing on which J. Bennett White, P.C. was awaiting payment was not a transaction in which J\1Ir. Reeder was going to be bon-owing money as I had been promised. Instead, he had previously sold a convenience store on a contract for deed, and the buyer was refinancing, leaving Mr. Reeder with the funds needed to retire the balances owed to J. Bennett White, P.C. I was initially assured that the closing was scheduled for January 23, 2015. A hue and correct copy of the January 20, 2015 email from Barbara Watts infonning of the date of closing is attached hereto as Exhibit 12. On January 23, 2015, I was informed by Barbara Watts by email that the buyer elected not to proceed with the closing. A true and con-ect copy of the January 23rd email is attached hereto as Exhibit 13. At that time, I insisted that Mr. Reeder honor this prior commitment to me. Mr. Reeder indicated that there was a chance the buyer would complete that transaction. I again agreed to await payment until that transaction could be consummated. Mr. Reeder continued to keep me infonned on the status of the closing. I had approximately 13 phone conversations with Mr. Reeder regarding the status of the closing from January, 2015 until the end of March, 2015. Further on February 27, 2015, Mr. Reeder sent a letter included with a pattial payment in which he expressed his hopefulness that the balance owed would soon be paid. A copy of the letter sent by Mr. Reeder is attached hereto as Exhibit 14. The closing finally occurred in March, 2015. Once that transaction was completed, I expected Mr. Reeder to make payment in full. On Jv1arch 23, 2015, Mr. Reeder called and asked to come to my office to settle up his account balances.

"When Mr. Reeder atTived, he met with my legal assistant Tw-yla Fields and me. In that meeting, he expressed some concerns about certain billing items and indicated that he did not want to have to pay the full balance. In an effort to get the bill reduced, Mr. Reeder raised several complaints. First, he expressed concern about what he thought were duplicate time entries in consecutive months on the Fry Appeal matter. Specifically, he thought that he was charged for the same work done in two consecutive months, May, 2009 and June, 2009. I pulled copies of those invoices and noticed multiple entries for reviewing the clerk's record and the reporter's record. I explained to Mr. Reeder that the billing records indicated that my associate at the time, Chris rviassey, was taking the

A,{lidCNil ofJ Be /Ille ti White J Bew1ett White. P. C v. Wendell Reeder Came No. 2015-184 Page 6 0025 06/19/2015 FRI 11: 21 FAX 903 597 4330 J BENNETT WHITE PC, ATTY idJ012/067

steps necessary to commence preparation of the appellate b1ief. I reminded Mr. Reeder that since my firm had not been involved in the trial in Wood County, the entire transcript had to be read in order to prepare the statement of facts po1tion of the appellant brief I also reminded Mr. Reeder that the trial had been lengthy with a large number of exhibits -- which all had to be reviewed as well. I assured him that anyone handling an appeal of that judgment would have had to do all the same work and would have charged him for that time, just as we had.

"Mr. Reeder then faulted the result from the initial appeal and stated that the only work that accomplished anything was the work that was done at the Texas Supreme Court. He did concede that the results there were positive, but he attributed that work to the lawyers at Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell, LLP, which served as lead attorneys during the Supreme Comt appeal.

"However, Mr. Reeder also agreed with me that the Supreme Comt ultimately vindicated the position we had taken with the Comt of Appeals. I con-ected Nlr. Reeder's belief that Locke Lord handled the entire proceeding before the Supreme Comt. I pulled up a copy of the original petition for review filed with the Supreme Court and showed to him that the only attorneys on that petition were those attorneys associated with J. Bennett White, P.C. I reminded him that Locke Lord was not willing to be hired unless the Supreme Court either granted the petition or requested briefing on the merits. The Supreme Court eventually granted the petition and Locke Lord then made its appearance for purposes of drafting the principal brief and participating in oral argument; however, the initial petition for review was drafted and filed by J. Bennett White, P.C.

"Mr. Reeder then insisted that with all the money that he had paid, the balance he cum;ntly owes should just be forgiven. In making this point, Mr. Reeder chose to aggregate the payments he had made with all the payments made by Clarksville Oil & Gas and its affiliated companies. I reminded him that nonpayment for work performed was not our deal. I did not dispute that Clarksville Oil and Gas had paid J. Bennett White, P.C. a substantial amount of money, but I assured him that all money \Vas paid in exchange for services that were already provided to Clarksville Oil and Gas. There had never been any agreement to provide services for free or to waive fees or charges that were legitimately incuITed on his behalf He then stated that the closing had simply not produced enough funds to pay the entire balance, but that he still did not believe that the balances that were reflected on our accounts were accurate. I told him that my office would reconcile the account balances with his records and would coordinate with his staff to get that done.

"Over the next week, my office spent approximately 26 hours reconstmcting all the billing records and reconciling the allocation of payments between the way that the payments were applied by J. Bennett White, P.C. and the way that the payments were shown to have been applied by Clarksville Oil

and Gas and the other related and affiliated entities under Mr. Reeder's control.

"During that time, I had phone conversations with Barbara Watts concerning the joint effort between her office and J. Bennett White, P.C. to reconcile the balances owed. Eventually, she confinned that all the funds they showed having paid had been applied and credit given by J. Bennett White, P.C. There has been no indication that any payments made by Reeder or any of the affiliated companies have not been applied to the account balances and reflected in the total balances cutTently owed.

"Once we accomplished the reconciliation of all the account balances, I then reminded Mr. Reeder he had at all times promised to settle up and pay once the liens were released from the real estate and that since that had been done, I expected full payment. He insisted that he did not believe he should be required to pay and invited me to file this present lawsuit against him if we were inclined to try to collect the full balance owed.

"The services reflected by the unpaid invoices were all provided in the zealous representation of Mr. Reeder. All legal services provided Mr. Reeder by J. Bennett White, P.C. were necessary. I am familiar with the rates charged for legal services in the Smith County area for representation of the type provided Mr. Reeder. The rates charged for the services depicted on those invoices are reasonable.

"Plaintiff has previously made demand on Defendant for payment of the outstanding unpaid balance. Attached and incorporated as Exhibit 15 is a hue and cotTect copy of a letter by which Plaintiff presented Defendant with the account balance for payment. More than 30 days has elapsed since the account was presented for payment; however, payment for the balance owed has not been tendered by Defendant.

"The law firm of J. BENNETT WHITE, P.C. was retained by the Plaintiff in order to collect the claim on which this suit is based. The actions taken by the retained law finn in order to pursue this claim have been necessary, and the sum of $30,000 is reasonable compensation for its services."

J. BENNETT WHITE, P.C. § IN THE DISTRICT COURT § vs. § IN AND FOR § WENDELL REEDER § WOOD COUNTY, TEXAS

DEFENDANT WENDELL REEDER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF' MOTION TO DISQUALIFY

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, WENDELL REEDER, Defendant in the above-entitled and numbered cause,

and files this his Response to Plaintiffs Motion to Disqualify and Brief in Support, and in support

of such Response would respectfully show unto the Court as follows:

I. Background

Plaintiff filed suit against his former client, Wendell Reeder, alleging that the Mr. Reeder

failed to pay all of the legal fees incurred by Plaintiff on behalf of Mr. Reeder in the course of

Plaintiffs representation of Mr. Reeder. During a portion of the time that Plaintiff represented Mr.

Reeder, a legal assistant named Jennifer Smith worked for Plaintiff.

On April 14, 2015, Mr. Reeder retained the undersigned counsel to represent him

individually, as well as in a number of other business and litigation related matters. The majority

of these matters were previously handled by Plaintiffs firm. On the same day as the undersigned

counsel was retained by Mr. Reeder, Plaintiff filed this suit suing Mr. Reeder for alleged unpaid legal

fees.

DEFENDANT WENDELL REED ER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY PAGEl

0082 Prior to being retained by Mr. Reeder, the undersigned counsel was contacted by Ms. Smith

who inquired about a position with the undersigned's law office. 1 Ms. Smith was re-hired by Mayo

Mendolia & Vice, LLP on April 16, 2015.

Prior to the retention of Mr. Reeder as a client, there were other cases in which both the law

office of Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP and Plaintiff were involved. Therefore, when Ms. Smith was

re-hired by Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP, the undersigned counsel had already contemplated the

segregation of Ms. Smith from these files as a matter of precaution. At the time of Ms. Smith's re-

hire, all cases in which Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP were involved in any capacity with Plaintiffs

office were disclosed to Ms. Smith. Instruction was issued by the undersigned counsel to Ms. Smith

and all firm personnel that Ms. Smith was to field no calls associated with these files, was not to

access these files via the firm server or by viewing the hard files, and was not to discuss these files,

even in casual conversation, with any firm employee or partner until further notice from the

undersigned counsel. All of these files were assigned to another legal assistant in the office and the

hard files were placed in a segregated office from Ms. Smith's office.

Since the commencement of Ms. Smith's employment with this office, the utmost care has

been taken to segregate Ms. Smith from any file in which she may have had prior involvement. To

date, Ms. Smith has remained completely isolated from any file where representation, at some point,

may have been by Plaintiffs office. This statement is particularly true in relation to the files,

including this one, associated with Mr. Reeder.

1 Ms. Smith had previously worked for Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP, and formerly for Mayo Mendolia & Stan-, LLP, from 2008 until March 2012.

DEFENDANT WENDELL REEDER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY PAGE2

0083 Evidence in Support of Response

1. Affidavit of J. Keith Mayo- attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by

reference.

11. Argument and Authorities

The Texas Rules of Professional Conduct were made and incorporated so that attorneys in

the state of Texas would not act unprofessionally and unethically when representing the interests of

their clients or in any situation where a lack of ethics will have negative effects on an involved party.

This is not one of those cases. Ms. Smith has not done any work on the Bennett v. Reeder case since

beginning work at the Mayo, Mendolia & Vice, nor has she divulged any confidential information

about the case to anyone at the firm. Since the Defendant's attorney properly screened Ms. Smith and

made sure she did not divulge any information concerning this action, the Court should not grant the

Plaintiffs motion to disqualify and allow the Defendant' s attorney to participate in this trial.

I. Ms. Smith was properly screened about the matter before any work was done on the case.

In America, federal antitrust laws give prospective employees the right to solicit their own

employment and choose from any job offer that is presented to them. Spectrum Sports, Inc. v.

McQuillan, 506 U.S. 447 (1993). Disqualifying the Defendant's Attorney simply because he hired

an employee, an employee with a sterling reputation in the legal industry, would not only be a

miscarriage of justice, but would violate Section II of the Sherman Antitrust Act. It is not

unreasonable to believe that attorneys in the Tyler, Texas area, where Ms. Smith lives, would be

regular opponents in Court so this disqualification effectively bars Ms. Smith from working as a

paralegal anywhere in the area she lives. This cannot be the intent of the Texas Rules of Professional

DEFENDANT WENDELL REEDER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY PAGE3

0084 Conduct pertaining to disqualification. The Texas Supreme Court agrees. Because a potential

employer would be less inclined to hire paralegals due to the threat of disqualification, the Court held

that any restrictions on the non-lawyer should be held to the minimum necessary to protect

confidentiality. Phoenix Founders, Inc. v. Marshall, 87 S. W.2d 831, 835 (1994).

The court held that a non-lawyer employee must be cautioned not to disclose any information

relating to the representation of a client of the former employer and should also be instructed to not

work on any matter on which the employee worked during the prior employment. Phoenix Founders,

87 S.W.2d 831, 835. In this case, the Defendant's attorney instructed Ms. Smith not to disclose any

information or to work on any matter that she worked on as a member of the Plaintiffs firm. Not

only has Ms. Smith not disclosed any information, but she hasn't been anywhere near any of the

work done on aforementioned matters.

The Court also calls for "other reasonable steps" to be made to ensure that no information

is leaked. Id. When this case was brought to the Defendant's attorney's firm, Ms. Smith was

completely segregated from all the work. The files were made unavailable for her access. The

physical files were moved to a segregated ofiice and Ms. Smith was again instructed not to access

those files. Furthermore, staff was instructed to isolate Ms. Smith from any phone calls related to

these cases and this case in particular.

The distinct possibility of Ms. Smith using this information is not enough to disqualify the

Defendant's attorney. The Defendant's attorney took the necessary steps to ensure that Ms. Smith

would not divulge any information at all concerning her work on these files while employed by

Plaintiff. Defendant should be allowed to participate in this case and vigorously defend his client.

Our State's highest court made this ruling because it did not want to create a chilling effect on the

DEFENDANT WENDELL REEDER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY PAGE4

0085 employment of capable paralegals when the risk of divulging confidential or competing information

has been duly controlled by measured steps.

II. Ms. Smith does not present a genuine threat of disclosure of the information.

The Texas Rules of Professional Conduct do not allow a lawyer who has previously

represented a client to use information that would create a disadvantage for the former client. Tex.

R. Prof. Conduct l .09(a)(3). These same rules apply to legal assistants and clerks under direct

supervision of partners in law firms as well. Texas. R. Prof. Conduct 5.03(b)(l). In Texas, the

burden of proof is on the movant to disqualify opposing council by establishing, by a preponderance

of the evidence, that the matter in question is substantially related to matters previously worked on

by the attorney or legal assistant, that there is a genuine threat of disclosure, and [the movant] must

have factual evidence to support this. Home fns . Co. v. Marsh, 790 S.W.2d 749, 753 (1990). Neither

party disputes the fact that Ms. Smith worked directly on this case. In fact, Ms. Smith was one of

three legal assistants employed by the Plaintiff with access to confidential information about this

case. Ms. Smith has taken on a full caseload at the Defendant's attorney's firm and has been

occupied with other, unrelated work since taking the job. The Defendant's attorney has two [other]

legal assistants and a clerk working on the matter at hand and they have been instructed not to speak

about the matter to Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith has been otherwise occupied the entire time she has been

employed by the Defendant's attorney and has not assisted any employee or member of the firm in

handling this case, thus she is not a legitimate threat to divulge information.

Unless opposing council can submit evidence that proves Ms. Smith is a threat to divulge

confidential information, it is not proper for the Defendant' s Attorney to excuse himself from

DEFENDANT WENDELL REEDER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO DISQUALIFY PAGES

0086 working on this case. Defendant respectfully requests that the Court DENY Plaintiffs request for

these reasons.

III. Ms. Smith has not spoken of or worked on any matter related to her employment by the Plaintiff.

Now, the court must question whether the proper effect of screening has occurred.

"Ordinarily, disqualification is not required as long as the practical effect of formal screening has

been achieved." Jn Re Complex Asbestos Litigation, 232 Cal.App.3d 572, 596. The challenged

attorney must show that the employee in question has not and will not disclose any of the relevant

information. Asbestos, 232 Cal.App.3d 572, 596.

Since leaving the Plaintiffs firm, Ms. Smith has not worked on or spoken of any matter that

she worked on during her time as an employee of the Plaintiff. As a dedicated employee, Ms. Smith

understands the importance of a client's right to privilege and that leaking any information related

to this matter would be unethical. Despite her vigorous screening and all the extreme measures taken

to create a Chinese Wall, if Ms. Smith were to leak information, the Defendant's attorney would

have no choice but to disqualify himself. id

Ms. Smith was specifically told not to work the case and or look over the files. She did not

say a word about the case to anyone at the firm. When the Defondant's attorney screened Ms. Smith,

he became aware of her knowledge of this case and took the proper steps to make sure she would

not volunteer any confidential information. Despite the fact that she has complete knowledge of the

case, Ms. Smith has not broken privileged with her former employer. The legal assistants and clerk

DEFENDANT WENDELL REED ER'S RESPONSE AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO lJISQUt\LIFY PAGE6

0087 working on the case were also instructed not to speak with Ms. Smith under any circumstances about

the case.

Conclusion

Because Ms. Smith has been properly screened and has not worked on or divulged any

confidential information concerning the matter at hand, the Defendant's attorney should not be

disqualified from working on this case. None of the actions taken by Mayo, Mendolia & Vice, LLP

violate the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct with respect to conflicts of interest. Disqualifying

the Defendant's attorney would not only severely inhibit the Defendant's case, but would violate

federal antitrust laws and keep Ms. Smith from effecti vcly providing for her family because no firms

in the Tyler, Texas area who have any working relationship wiLh the Plaintiff would hire her. Ms.

Smith was told not to work on the case and has not worked on the case. Since none of Ms. Smith's

actions while working for the Defendant's attorney endangers the Plaintiffs right to confidence, the

Defendant therefore requests that the Court deny his motion for disqualification of the Defendant's

attorney, and requests such other and further relief as to which Defendant may show himself justly

entitled.

0090 AFFIDAVIT OF ,J. KEITH MAYO

STATE OF TEXAS § § § COUNTY OF SMITH §

Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day personally appeared J. Keith Mayo whose

identity is known to me. After making his oath, he said:

"My name is J. Keith Mayo. I am more than 21 years of age and am of sound mind and

capable of making this Affidavit. I have not been convicted of a felony or a crime involving

moral turpitude and I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this Affidavit and each

are true and correct."

"On April 14, 2015, Mr. Reeder retained the undersigned counsel to represent him

individually, as well as in a number of other business and litigation related matters. The

majority of these matters were previously handled by Plaintiffs firm. On the same day as the

undersigned counsel was retained by Mr. Reeder, Plaintiff filed this suit suing Mr. Reeder for

alleged unpaid legal fees."

"Prior to being retained by Mr. Reeder, the undersigned counsel was contacted by Ms.

Smith who inquired about a position with the undersigned's law office.I Ms. Smith was re-hired

by Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP on April 16, 2015."

"Prior to the retention of Mr. Reeder as a client, there were other cases in which both the

law office of Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP and Plaintiff were involved. Therefore, when Ms.

Smith was re-hired by Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP, the undersigned counsel had already

contemplated the segregation of Ms. Smith from these files as a matter of precaution. At the

1 Ms. Smith had previously worked for Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP, and formerly for Mayo Mendolia & Starr, LLP, from 2008 until March 2012.

AFFIDAVIT OF J. KEITH MA YO - Page I of 2

0091 time of Ms. Smith's re-hire, all cases in which Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP were involved in

any capacity with Plaintiffs office were disclosed to Ms. Smith. Instruction was issued by the

undersigned counsel to Ms. Smith and all firm personnel that Ms. Smith was to field no calls

associated with these files, was not to access these files via the firm server or by viewing the

hard files, and was not to discuss these files, even in casual conversation, with any firm

employee or partner until further notice from the undersigned counsel. All of these files were

assigned to another legal assistant in the office and the hard files were placed in a segregated

office from Ms. Smith's office."

"Since the commencement of Ms. Smith's employment with this office, the utmost care

has been taken to segregate Ms. Smith from any file in which she may have had prior

involvement. To date, Ms. Smith has remained completely isolated from any file where

representation, at some point, may have been by Plaintiffs office. This statement is particularly

true in relation to the files, including this one, associated with Mr. Reeder."

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT HEARING

COME NOW, Defendant, WENDELL REEDER, in the above referenced cause of action

by and through his attorneys of record, and files this Motion for Continuance of the hearing on

Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and would show the court the following:

I.

The hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is currently scheduled to take

place on August 10, 2015. Procedurally, a Motion for Summary Judgment is premature as

Defendant has had virtually no opportunity to complete or even begin discovery. A timeline of

the proceeding in this case are as follows:

4/14/15 Plaintiff’s Original Petition filed.

6/1/15 Defendant Wendell Reeder’s Original Answer and General Denial filed.

6/11/15 Motion to Disqualify J. Keith Mayo and Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP as Attorney for Defendant Wendell Reeder filed.

6/19/15 Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment filed.

6/23/15 Order Granting Motion to Disqualify J. Keith Mayo and Mayo Mendolia & Vice, LLP as Attorney for Defendant Wendell Reeder filed.

0095 Defendant has recently retained additional counsel to represent him in this matter. A

Notice of Appearance of Additional Counsel naming Jack Walker has been filed in this matter

concurrently with this motion. As of the date of filing of this Motion for Continuance, the

Defendant has only been in the case for approximately 52 days. Defendant is entitled to the

opportunity to conduct discovery and, at a minimum obtain the deposition of the Plaintiff, J.

Bennett White with J. Bennett White, P.C. The Defendant would request that this court continue

the hearing on the summary judgment so as to allow the parties to engage in discovery. This

continuance is not sought for delay but so that justice may be done.

J. BENNETT WHITE, P.C., § IN THE DISTRICT COURT Plaintiff, § § V. § INAND FOR § § WENDELL REEDER, § Defendant. § WOOD COUNTY, TEXAS

RESPONSE TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT SUBJECT TO MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT HEARING

Defendant, Wendell Reeder responds to plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, subject

to his separately filed motion for continuance of the hearing on plaintiff’s motion for summary

judgment as follows:

This Court should deny White’s traditional motion for summary of judgment for the following reasons:

 White is not entitled to suit on sworn account treatment; this case wasn’t pleaded as a suit on sworn account.

 White failed to make his prima facie burden on suit on sworn account.

 White failed to establish a breach of contract action and subsequent entitlement to attorney fees “as a matter of law.”

 This motion is premature, as discussed in the companion motion for continuance; discovery needs to be conducted.

0103 I. Background

White sued Reeder for breach of contract, alleging that Reeder hired White to perform

attorney services, and failed to pay $212,597.07 in attorney fees.1 White also seeks an award of

12% interest, costs of court, and $70,000 in attorney fees for this proceeding.

Reeder contests the fees represented to be charged by White, and contests that the fees

were reasonable and necessary for the work accomplished. Exhibit 1. Further, Reeder believes

that charges and fees charged by White and his office reflect actions taken by White that were

not in compliance with or in furtherance of the client’s particular instructions and strategies in

the case. Exhibit 1. Reeder cannot provide more specific explanation of White’s departures from

instruction until White actually provides the billing statements with description of legal services

provided and time spent. Exhibit 1.

The hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment is currently scheduled to take

place on August 25, 2015. Procedurally, a Motion for Summary Judgment is premature as

Defendant has had virtually no opportunity to complete or even begin discovery. A timeline of

6/1/15 Defendant Wendell Reeder’s Original Answer and General Denial filed.

0104 Defendant has recently retained additional counsel to represent him in this matter. A

Notice of Appearance of Additional Counsel naming Jack Walker has been filed in this matter

concurrently with this motion. As of the date of filing of this Motion for Continuance, the

Defendant has only been in the case for approximately 52 days. Defendant is entitled to the

opportunity to conduct discovery and, at a minimum obtain the deposition of the Plaintiff, J.

Bennett White with J. Bennett White, P.C.

II. Table of Exhibits

Reeder attached the following exhibits which are incorporated by reference as if set forth

in full:

Exhibit 1 Affidavit of Wendell Reeder.

Plaintiff also relies upon and incorporates all pleadings on file.

III. Standard of Review

When a movant files a traditional motion for summary judgment based on the summary

judgment evidence, the court can grant the motion only when the movant’s evidence, “as a

matter of law,” either conclusively establishes all the elements of the movant’s affirmative

defense or conclusively disproves the facts of at least one element of the nonmovant’s claim.

M.D. Anderson Hosp. and Tumor Inst. v. Willrich, 28 S.W.3d 22, 23 (Tex. 2000); Park Place

Hosp. v. Estate of Milo, 909 S.W.2d 508, 511 (Tex. 1995). When evaluating a motion for

summary judgment based on summary judgment proof, the trial court must do the following:

(1) Assume all the nonmovant’s proof is true. Limestone Prods. Distrib. v. McNamara, 71 S.W.3d 308, 311 (Tex. 2002); Nixon v. Mr. Prop. Mgmt. Co., 690 S.W.2d 546

0105 (2) Indulge every reasonable inference in favor of the nonmovant. Provident Life & Acc. Ins. Co. v. Knott, 128 S.W.3d 211, 215 (Tex. 2003).

(3) Resolve all doubts about the existence of a genuine issue of a material fact against the movant. M.D. Anderson Hosp. v. Willrich, 28 S.W.3d 22, 23 (2000).

The movant bears the burden of showing that no genuine issue of material fact exists and

that it is entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. American Tobacco Co. v. Grinnell,

951 S.W.2d 420, 425 (Tex. 1997).

The nonmovant has no burden to respond to a summary judgment motion unless the

movant conclusively establishes its cause of action. Id. If the movant meets his burden, the

burden then shifts to the non-movant to present competent summary judgment evidence creating

a genuine issue of material fact. Kaye v. Harris County Mun. Util. Dist. No. 9, 866 S.W.2d 791,

793 (Tex. App. – Houston [14th Dist.] 1993, no writ) (citing McConnell v. Southside Indep. Sch,

Dist., 858 S.W. 2d 337, 341 (Tex. 1993)).

What Constitutes a Material Fact Issue?

In deciding whether there is a material fact issue precluding summary judgment, evidence

favorable to the non-movant will be taken as true; every reasonable inference must be indulged

in favor of the non-movant and any doubts resolved in its favor. Hughes Wood Products, Inc. v.

Wagner, 18 S.W.3d 202, 205, 43 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 595 (Tex. 2000). The evidentiary standard in

reviewing a summary judgment is well-known to this court:

We must... view the evidence and its reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the nonmovant. Great American Reserve Ins. Co. v. San Antonio Plumbing Supply Col, 391 S.W.2d 41, 47 (Tex. 1965). In deciding whether there is a material fact issue precluding summary judgment, all conflicts in the evidence will be disregarded and the evidence favorable to the nonmovant will be accepted as true. Harwell v. State Farm Mut. Auto Ins. Co., 896 S.W.2d 170, 173 (Tex. 1995). Evidence that favors the movant’s position will not be considered unless it is uncontroverted. Great American, 391 S.W.2d at 47.

0106 Davis v. City of Palestine, 988 S.W.2d 854, 857 (Tex. App.—Tyler 1999, no pet.). Additionally,

“Conflicting testimony of the same witness on the same issue creates a fact issue for the fact

finder to decide.” Washington v. Aetna Cas. & Surety Co., 521 S.W.2d 313, 316 (Tex. Civ.

App.—Fort Worth 1975, no writ), emphasis added; Maleski v. Tex. Emp. Ins. Ass’n., 471 S.W.2d

416, 421 (Tex. Civ. App.—Corpus Christi 1971, no writ).

IV. Argument and Authorities

White sued Reeder for breach of contract, and has failed to establish his right to a

traditional summary judgment, “as a matter of law.”

1. White failed to plead a Suit on Sworn Account, and thus is not entitled to avail himself of Rule 185’s procedural advantages.

White’s claim is for breach of contract. White failed to plead breach of contract in a way

that meets Rule 185’s elements and thus is not allowed to harness a suit on sworn account’s

procedural benefits.

Rule 185 states that an open account includes, “any claim… for personal services

rendered.” See Tex. R. Civ. P. 185; Panditi v. Apostle, 180 S.W.3d 924, 926 (Tex. App.---Dallas

2006, no pet.). Rule 185 is not a rule of substantive law, but rather, a rule of procedure regarding

the evidence necessary to establish a prima facie right of recovery for certain types of contractual

claims. Id.

It is merely a rule of evidence which, if there is no proper denial, avoids the necessity of

proving the correctness of the account. Long v. Miken Oil, Inc., 2014 Tex. App. LEXIS 9189, at

*29 (Tex. App.---Tyler 2014, no pet.). Proof of the contract or sale that gave rise to the account

must be made as alleged. Id. at 30.

0107 If a plaintiff’s pleading of a sworn account is defective or if the defendant files a proper

sworn denial, the plaintiff must offer proof of the sworn account. Id. In a suit on sworn account,

the plaintiff must prove:

(1) there was a sale or delivery of the goods or services,

(2) the charges on the account are just, that is, the prices charged are in accordance with an agreement or, in the absence of an agreement, are usual, customary and reasonable, and

(3) the amount remains unpaid.

Id.

The account must show with reasonable certainty the name, date and charge for each

item, and provide specifics or details as to how the figures were arrived at. Panditi, 180 S.W.3d

at 926.

A claim is liquidated for a suit on sworn account if the amount of damages may be

accurately calculated by the trial court from the “factual, as opposed to the conclusory,”

allegations in the plaintiffs’ petition and the instrument in writing. Id. When a plaintiff’s suit on

sworn account is not based on a liquidated amount, the pleadings are neutralized and the plaintiff

must prove his case at common law. Id.

A systematic record must have been kept on all claims brought under the rule. Id. at 31. A

suit on sworn account must be accompanied by the affidavit of the plaintiff, his agent or his

attorney, that (1) the claim is within the knowledge of the affiant, (2) that the claim is just and

true, (3) the account is due, and (4) all just and lawful offsets, payments and credits have been

allowed. Id. A defendant is not required to file a sworn denial if the plaintiff’s suit on a sworn

account is not properly pleaded. Id.

0108 a. White failed to establish his prima facie case under Rule 185, and thus is not entitled to suit on sworn account treatment.

White filed a petition wholly deficient of Rule 185’s requirements. Namely, the petition

was conclusory and:

 Failed to attach an affidavit establishing facts under oath

 Failed to contain facts establishing systematic record(s) of transaction(s)

 Failed to contain facts establishing that the amount charged were usual, customary and reasonable

 Failed to contain facts establishing a contract between the parties

 Failed to contain facts establishing the lawful payments, offsets and credits applied to the account.

TEX. R. CIV. P. 185; Andrews v. ETMC, 885 S.W.2d 264 (Tex. App.—Tyler 1994, no writ).

At a minimum, the sworn information in support of a Rule 185 suit on sworn account for

attorney fees should have included statements that list the date and description of legal services

provided, the number of hours spent, etc., so that the defendant could have something more than

mere conclusions to controvert. Panditi, 180 S.W.3d at 927.

In every way, White’s petition fails to establish its prima facie burden under Rule 185.

b. Nonetheless, Reeder has filed a sworn denial, and White is put to his burden of proof.

Reeder is not required to file a sworn denial. “A defendant is not required to file a sworn

denial if the plaintiff’s suit on a sworn account was not properly pleaded.” Panditi, 180 S.W.3d

at 926. As explained above, because White didn’t properly plead a sworn account, this is a

breach of contract action and nothing more.

0109 The purpose is straightforward. Defendant cannot be expected to refute allegations that

haven’t been clearly and particularly alleged and sworn under oath in the first place.

Nonetheless, Reeder has filed a sworn denial, and White must establish his right to

recovery by common law. Where a defendant files a verified denial, he is permitted to dispute

the receipt of services and correctness of the charges. Panditi, 180 S.W.3d at 926.

Here, Reeder has alleged in his sworn denial that the fees were improper. Ashton Grove

L.C. v. Jackson Walker L.L.P., 366 S.W.3d 790, 798 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2012, no pet.). Reeder

contests the fees represented to be charged by White, and contests that the fees were reasonable

and necessary for the work accomplished. Exhibit 1. Further, Reeder believes that charges and

fees charged by White and his office reflect actions taken by White that were not in compliance

with or in furtherance of the client’s particular instructions and strategies in the case. Exhibit 1.

Reeder cannot provide more specific explanation of White’s departures from instruction until

White actually provides the billing statements with description of legal services provided and

time spent. Exhibit 1.

3. White failed to satisfy Andersen Requirements.

An examination of the documents attached to White’s traditional motion for summary

judgment reveals flimsy, conclusory information that cannot establish his claim as a matter of

law. In order to prevail on his motion for summary judgment, White must establish his claim for

breach of contract, the link between breach of contract and damages, and his contract damages

themselves “as a matter of law,” which he cannot do. Ashton, 366 S.W.3d at 797-98.

As explained above, Reeder has alleged in his sworn denial that the fees were improper.

Id. at 798.

0110 The Andersen factors apply in determining the reasonableness of attorney fees, and these

factors include: (1) the time and labor required and difficulty of the issues involved; (2) the

likelihood that acceptance of the employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer; (3)

the fees customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount involved

and results obtained; (5) the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances; (6) the

nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; (7) the experience, reputation,

and ability of the lawyer performing the services; and (8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent

on the result obtained. Ashton, 366 S.W.3d at 799.

In support of his motion, White attaches an affidavit with exhibits. The affidavit fails to

set forward any evidence regarding factors such as fees customarily charged for similar

circumstances, or the experience or reputation of the lawyers involved.

White attaches documents he refers to as a “summary of account activity,” containing

conclusory information for seven matters, labeled as Exhibits 4-10. The financial records

attached fail to set forward any information regarding the actual hours worked on a particular

day on a given file, or a description of legal services provided during that time spent. They are

little more than meaningless numbers, which, in a vacuum, cannot establish a claim as a matter

of law.

4. Continuance of summary judgment hearing is appropriate.

As explained in the companion motion, a continuance of any summary judgment hearing

is appropriate. As of the date of filing of the Motion for Continuance, the Defendant has only

been in the case for approximately 52 days. Defendant is entitled to the opportunity to conduct

0111 discovery and, at a minimum obtain the deposition of the Plaintiff, J. Bennett White with J.

Bennett White, P.C.

The motion for continuance is adopted and incorporated as if set forth fully. And this

response is subject to the motion for continuance.

V. Conclusion

Accordingly, this Court should deny White’s motion for summary judgment.

J. BENNETT WHITE, P.C., § IN THE DISTRICT COURT Plaintiff, § § v. § INANDFOR § § WENDELL REEDER, § Defendant. § WOOD COUNTY, TEXAS

FIRST AMENDED ANSWER

Defendant, WENDELL REEDER, files this first amended answer and general denial, and

affidavit in support, as follows:

Defendant generally denies the allegations in plaintiffs original petition.

II. Objection to Consideration as Suit ou Sworn Account, and Special Exceptions

Defendant objects and specially excepts to plaintiffs petition because the claims are not

properly brought as a suit on a sworn account. This is a suit for breach of contract arising from

an attorney client relationship.

White failed to plead breach of contract in a way that meets Rule 185' s elements and thus

is not allowed to harness a suit on sworn account's procedural benefits. His pleadings are

defective because they fail to establish by affidavit under oath any of the following:

(!)there was a sale or delivery of the goods or services,

(2) the charges on the account are just, that is, the prices charged are in accordance with an agreement or, in the absence of an agreement, are usual, customary and reasonable, and

0117 (4) systematic records of transactions, such as the name, date and charge for each item, and provide specifics or details as to how the figures were anived at.

(5) Failed to contain facts establishing the lawful payments, offsets and credits applied to the account.

Defendant further objects and specially excepts to the conclusory nature of plaintiffs

allegations. The usual and customary practice for attorneys is to make separate time entries

detailing the date of service provided, amount of time spent, and description of legal service

provided. Here, the amounts listed are nothing more than conclusions. When a plaintiffs suit on

sworn account is not based on a liquidated amount, the pleadings are neutralized and the plaintiff

must prove his case at common law. Conclusory totals do not satisfy the record keeping

requirement of Rule 185.

A defendant is not required to file a sworn denial if the plaintiffs suit on a sworn account

is not properly pleaded.

III. Verified Pleas

Defendant denies the account on which plaintiff files suit because not each and every

item of the account made the basis of plaintiffs suit is just or true. Defendant has filed an

affidavit in support of this answer, and incorporates same as if set forth fully.

1 P R O C E E D I N G S

2 THE COURT: 2015-184, White versus

3 Reeder. I just have this down as a motions hearing.

4 What are we dealing with?

5 MR. WHITE: Your Honor, my law firm filed

6 a lawsuit against Mr. Reeder for collection of fees.

7 Mr. Mayo's firm has been hired to represent Mr. Reeder.

8 One of my formal legal assistants has gone to work for

9 Mr. Mayo. Since she both has prior confidences being

10 both employed by my firm and my client, we've moved to

11 disqualify Mr. Mayo, so we're here on our motion to

12 disqualify.

13 MR. MAYO: Your Honor, we filed a

14 response, and in the response, we believe that we have

15 met the criteria for isolating this particular

16 nonlawyer/paralegal in the manner prescribed by the law.

17 In the Phoenix Founders case, the Court's very clear

18 with regard to what needs to be done by the law firm

19 hiring the incoming paralegal.

20 The Court discusses the fact that there

21 doesn't need to be a chilling effect on the hiring of

22 paralegals simply because of the fact a paralegal has

23 worked in another law office prior to coming to this law

24 office, and they've set out the difference between

25 paralegals and lawyers. 5

1 Your Honor, I would direct you to Page --

2 in the Phoenix case, Page 4, beginning on Page 4 in the

3 second column, and it's really the first full paragraph

4 beginning with, "Underlying..." It talks about the

5 criteria that's looked at by the Supreme Court. And as

6 long as my firm can satisfy the burden -- well, it's the

7 Movant's burden to prove that there is a basis for

8 disqualification, but my response to that, in responding

9 to that, I simply have to show that there's a screening

10 done with the employee, which there was -- I've included

11 in my affidavit attached to my response -- that there

12 have been measures taken within the office to isolate

13 the employee from these files, which there has been.

14 We've removed the files and segregated those particular

15 files in another office from hers. She has also

16 instructed, as has our staff and other paralegals, not

17 to discuss this case within the office with this

18 paralegal.

19 Ms. Smith is very capable paralegal, a

20 single mother, and needs the job. The Court, not

21 wanting to impose a chilling effect in the hiring of

22 capable legal professionals as long as these criteria

23 been met and we have met this criteria and we believe

24 there's no basis for disqualification, Your Honor.

25 THE COURT: Thank you. 6

1 Mr. White.

2 MR. WHITE: Thank you, Your Honor. May

3 approach, Your Honor?

4 THE COURT: Yes.

5 MR. WHITE: I've printed off this. It's

6 the same court opinion that Mr. Mayo provided, although

7 I did highlight three paragraphs that are a little bit

8 different place where Mr. Mayo called the Court's

9 attention to.

10 Essentially, where the opinion goes to

11 Page 836, the Supreme Court sets forth the criteria

12 that's to be looked at. And essentially, what this case

13 does is it draws a distinction between the lawyer and

14 the legal assistant whereas the lawyer is presumed,

15 conclusively presumed to share whatever confidences they

16 have to other people in the firm.

17 The Court Supreme has said that if we want

18 to indulge that conclusive presumption as to a legal

19 assistant, but it says it is inevitable that we should

20 presume some sharing. On the left-hand column there, it

21 talks about the court will presume some sharing in a

22 case of a legal assistant, but that can be rebutted,

23 which that's the fact that it has to be rebutted by the

24 firm seeking to be -- or the firm -- this -- the target

25 of the disqualification, it would be their burden to 7

1 prove there are adequate safeguards in place, but when

2 you go over to the next column, you go over the factors

3 and the circumstances that exist here.

4 The first factor is the substantiality of

5 the relationship between the former and the current

6 matters. Well, Your Honor, when Ms. Smith was working

7 for my firm, there is some portion of the work that's

8 been sued on here today in this lawsuit that was work

9 that she provided, so she's a fact witness about work

10 she did that is reflected in the billing.

11 She worked for my firm which is both the

12 Plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel, so she got

13 confidences of both the employee of the party as well as

14 an employee of the party's attorney. Well, the matter

15 we are here today is the very same matter that she

16 helped work on right before she left which was

17 accounting for Mr. Reeder's time, reconciling the

18 billing, making sure the amount we were claiming against

19 him was correctly calculated, and so she's got direct

20 involvement in the matter while she worked for my firm,

21 and this is the same exact matter that Mr. Mayo is

22 representing Mr. Reeder on.

23 The next factor the Supreme Court talks

24 about is the time elapsing between the matters. This

25 isn't where she did work for me years ago on something 8

1 that's remote in time from what we're on here today.

2 This is all bang, bang; March-April of this year.

3 There's no gap in-between the two.

4 The next factor the Supreme Court talks

5 about is the size of the law firm. In that case, they

6 made not that the legal assistant involved was going to

7 work at Thompson & Knight. There was the ability to put

8 her in different departments in different floors. The

9 firm was large enough it was easy to lose her among the

10 bodies so there was not much chance that her information

11 would be drawn upon accidentally or improperly.

12 Mr. Mayo's office is a small office. My office is a

13 small office. This factor does not weigh in favor of

14 denying our motion.

15 The next factor says the number of persons

16 presumed to have confidential information. Mr. Mayo in

17 his responses has indicated he's got three for four

18 employees in his office. If there's anybody that's

19 presumed to have shared confidences, it would be a

20 substantial percentage of that office. It's not in this

21 case where the paralegal had shared information with

22 maybe her supervising attorney who had nothing to do

23 with the ongoing matters that were the subject of this

24 qualification.

25 The next factor is the nature involvement 9

1 in the former matter. Well, the former matter is the

2 same matter that we're -- that has resulted in this

3 case. She was completely involved in that.

4 The next factor is the timing and features

5 of measures to reduce the dangers of disclosure.

6 Mr. Mayo has indicated what he believes those to be, and

7 the Supreme Court goes on to say a little further, the

8 last part I've highlighted there, the fact that the

9 present case involves representation of adverse parties

10 in the same proceeding rather than two separate

11 proceedings increases the danger that some improper

12 disclosure may have occurred. We're here in exactly

13 that scenario.

14 So to the extent the Supreme Court lowered

15 the boundary or -- or the raised the burden for

16 disqualification to some extent, the manner in which

17 they've raised it simply does not apply to the facts

18 that we have here, and not only that, but this speaks

19 solely to the person being affected as having been an

20 employee of the law firm, not as having been employed by

21 the client.

22 I mean, we can just imagine in a personal

23 injury case, if a former employee of the defendant goes

24 to work for the plaintiff's law firm. That -- that

25 would hardly be appropriate. And Mr. Mayo talks about 10

1 her ability to get a job, he can hire whoever he wants o

2 hire. We're not saying he cannot hire her. It's just

3 that he has to chose between hiring her and keeping this

4 case. He doesn't have to fire her. He can be

5 disqualified which would allow her to keep her job which

6 would protect her from being exposed.

7 But the problem we have right now, Your

8 Honor, she is a fact witness. She has knowledge that

9 bears upon the legitimacy of our claim against Mr.

10 Mayo's client. Mr. Mayo is obligated to zealously

11 defend his client and there's no way for him to

12 zealously defend his client if he's taking a hands-off

13 approach with a fact witness because she happens to work

14 for him.

15 If she has to testify, she's going to be

16 extremely torn between the truthfulness of the work that

17 she did as reflected in our claim and the loyalty she

18 feels to Mr. Mayo by being employed by him and the

19 loyalty she'll feel for her client as her client, and so

20 that's unfair to do.

21 If Mr. Reeder has got legitimate defenses,

22 there are plenty other lawyers that can take this case.

23 There's no necessity to keep Mr. Mayo, but under these

24 circumstances and under the facts that exists here,

25 disqualification would be appropriate, and we ask the 11

1 Court to grant our motion and disqualify Mr. Mayo and

2 his firm.

3 THE COURT: Any further response?

4 MR. MAYO: Just briefly, Your Honor. The

5 Phoenix case deals specifically with -- and the Supreme

6 Court is dealing specifically with what Mr. White has

7 urged in his motion. In the Phoenix case, the Supreme

8 Court says we're lowing the standard because we do not

9 want to have that effect from hiring capable paralegals

10 simply because they've worked on a case in another firm.

11 The size of the firm is a criteria.

12 However, in this particular case, to disqualify our firm

13 would be to presume that we haven't given all of these

14 warnings, which I've sworn to an affidavit and attached

15 to my response that we did, and we haven't taken these

16 precautions in my office to isolate Ms. Smith from any

17 exposure to the file.

18 THE COURT: Yes, sir.

19 Let me just say that the Court works on

20 the assumption that everything in the affidavit is

21 correct --

22 MR. MAYO: Yes, sir.

23 THE COURT: -- and you've taken all those

24 steps and is acting in good faith. I think Mr. White is

25 correct in what he's saying for the reason that this 12

1 is -- well, especially for the reason that this is a

2 case where's it's not representing -- in other words,

3 this has to do with the law firm itself as visa-vis

4 Mr. Reeder as opposed to Mr. White. In other words, I

5 think it gets too directly into the fact especially she

6 might be called -- potentially be called as a witness,

7 and I know she may not necessarily be called as a

8 witness, but where she could be, this really puts this

9 in a much more difficult situation that it would be

10 otherwise.

11 I'm going to -- well, what is our

12 timetable?

13 MR. MAYO: It's just begun. He filed a

14 motion for summary judgement, but other than that, the

15 case has just been filed.

16 THE COURT: The summary judgement is

17 going to be heard when?

18 MR. WHITE: I don't think we have a

19 setting.

20 THE COURT: I'm going to find that,

21 Mr. Mayo, that your firm needs to either withdraw within

22 30 days -- in other words, if the matter isn't resolved

23 some other way within 30 days, that your firm would need

24 to withdraw.

25 MR. WHITE: Your Honor, is that a final 13

1 order? I presume the Court understands why because I

2 understand Mr. Reeder is going to ask me to have this

3 decision reviewed, I feel confident.

4 THE COURT: And, you know, I know

5 mandamus isn't used as much as it used to be, but if

6 it's available, why certainly, that's you need to take

7 advantage of if you feel like that's what needs to be

8 done. So I guess let me make that -- just put it on the

9 basis of the fact changing that to where I'm saying that

10 I find there is a conflict and that --

11 MR. MAYO: Even though it's the same

12 client? That's okay.

13 THE COURT: Yes, sir. And that -- and so

14 you've got something real clear to deal with.

15 If you'll reduce that to a properly

16 written form, and if counsel signs off it approving as

17 to form, I'll sign it when I get it.

18 MR. WHITE: I will prepare the proposed

19 order.

20 THE COURT: Yes, sir.
