By Jim Landers of The Dallas Morning News – November 20 – The National Center for Policy Analysis, saying a scandal over the dismissal of its former president had brought it close to collapse, has sued prominent Dallas law firm Winstead and its chairman emeritus Mike Baggett, claiming legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty.
The suit, filed Monday in state District Court in Dallas, seeks more than $1 million in damages.
Winstead CEO Kevin Sullivan had no specific comment on the suit but said he was confident Baggett’s actions were ethical and appropriate.
In a written statement released to The Texas Lawbook, Winstead said, “All of us at Winstead have always taken great pride in Mike Baggett’s many accomplishments whether in the courtroom, on the civic front or with the bar association. We look forward to vigorously defending these allegations and feel certain that a thorough review of the circumstances will show that Mike acted appropriately and ethically as he always does.”
