Georgia State-wide Business Court Judge Bill Hamrick III in April ordered the former Carrollton law firm Van Pelt & Dufour dissolved and appointed a receiver to take control of and perform a forensic audit of the firm, formerly operated by brothers Robert Scott Dufour and John Dufour.

The receiver recently deposited $1.03 million into an account at Colony Bank, "which represents former funds at issue of the law firm of Van Pelt & Dufour," according to an Aug. 1 filing in response to an order for investment of funds. The bank was chosen after competitive bids were submitted, the filing stated.
