JUDGMENT

This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the

trial court is reversed in part, rendered in part and affirmed as modified. We reverse

that portion of the trial court’s judgment that grants relief against Anson and MBH

and we render judgment that Ghrist take nothing on his claims against those parties.

We modify the judgment to delete the requirement that the Ferguson Firm disgorge

$7,528.09 and to reflect that the total amount of damages awarded against the firm is

$212,586.68. We affirm the judgment as modified. It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this

proceeding, for which let execution issue.
