Over the course of five years, plenty of federal trial and appellate court judges have rejected wealthy Dallas oil heir Albert Hill III’s repeated attempts to get out of paying two law firms who helped him access his sizable trust fund. Now add the U.S. Supreme Court to the list.
The high court denied Hill’s petition for writ of certiorari on Oct. 5—a challenge to an April 2 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit that affirmed an arbitrator’s ruling that Hill and his wife owed Houston’s Campbell Harrison & Dagley and Dallas’ Calloway, Norris, Burdette & Weber $28 million for their services.
