A Vietnamese-American boat owner, captain and fisherwoman filed a lawsuit against Bob Hilliard and his firm, Hilliard Munoz Gonzales in Corpus Christi, and John Cracken and his firm, The Cracken Law Firm in Dallas.
In her lawsuit, the plaintiff, Thim Nguyen, alleges that the two high-profile plaintiff lawyers stole her name and identity and those of 45,500 other Vietnamese-Americans who fish for a living in the Gulf of Mexico. Nguyen alleges the two stole the identities as part of their plan to gain more than $2 billion in payments from BP Exploration & Production after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
