Houston attorney Tony Buzbee is facing a lawsuit from former client Jose Bermudez, who claims that Buzbee’s firm charged him over $17,500 in interest, reducing his settlement from $700,000 to less than $190,000.
Bermudez argues that the charges were excessive and seeks legal recourse.
This lawsuit is the fourth of its kind against Buzbee, with previous clients raising similar concerns about fund mismanagement and excessive charges.
These cases have drawn attention to Buzbee’s firm, known for handling high-profile cases.
Some have questioned the firm’s practices, while others cite Buzbee’s legal success.
Legal experts suggest these repeated complaints could damage the firm’s reputation and lead to further scrutiny by legal authorities.
Buzbee has not commented on the lawsuit, but his attorney said the case would be addressed in court.
Bermudez seeks to recover the interest charges and gain more transparency into the firm’s financial practices.
