A Galveston attorney has been indicted on charges of insurance fraud, barratry and money laundering in connection with allegations that he improperly submitted roof hail damage claims to insurance companies on behalf of clients he'd never met.
Christopher Bertini was indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury recently on those four felony counts after he was investigated by the Texas Department of Insurance.
Bertini allegedly filed lawsuits against insurance companies over roof damage claims on behalf of clients he'd never seen, instead using third parties to solicit business for the scheme.
