Professional golfer Dustin Johnson has accused Atlanta attorney Nathan “Nat” Hardwick IV and his former firm, Morris Hardwick Schneider—now known as Morris|Schneider|Wittstadt—of cheating the PGA player out of $3 million. According to a new complaint filed Monday in federal court in Atlanta, Hardwick and Mark Wittstadt and Gerard Wittstadt Jr., partners at the successor firm, conspired to induce Johnson—who considered Hardwick both a longtime legal adviser and friend—to loan Hardwick and his former firm $3 million in a “really good investment” opportunity.
