A Dallas law firm has filed a civil suit against a former employee, seeking payment of more than $100,000 she allegedly stole from its coffers.
Thefts at firms are more common than attorneys care to admit, say three Dallas lawyers. Jim E. Cowles, a shareholder in Cowles & Thompson, says such thefts are difficult for firms to deal with. “It is a considerable problem for a lot of law firms. I don’t know how many firms that that’s happened to, because it’s an embarrassment, and they just take the loss, but I suspect it’s quite a few.”
