A Georgia state judge is sorting through what’s left of a dissolved law firm amid a tussle between attorney brothers over allegations of unfair division of profits and diversion of more than $1 million into “secret accounts.”
Georgia State-wide Business Court Judge Bill Hamrick III in April ordered the former Carrollton, Georgia, law firm Van Pelt & Dufour dissolved and appointed a receiver to take control of and perform a forensic audit of the firm, formerly operated by brothers Robert Scott Dufour and John Dufour.
