Houston criminal defense attorney Kent Schaffer is suing his longtime office mate, David Bires, for breach of contract for allegedly failing to pay half of their office lease in June.
In a petition filed on Tuesday in state district court in Harris County, Schaffer alleged that Bires, who is also a criminal defense lawyer, is obligated to pay $6,992 for the month of June, but only paid $1,576.
“As a result of Bires' breach, Schaffer has suffered damages in the amount of $5,417,” Schaffer alleged in the petition in Schaffer v. Bires.
