An individual named Estelle, who claimed to be a former officer of XYZ LLC, had engaged our companycompany's (GWR) services to recover unclaimed court-held funds that GWR had identified as belonging to XYZ LLC. After the funds were recovered by the attorney GWR had hired, we were notifiedcontacted by an outside party named Neal Landers, who claimingclaimed entitlement to the funds and that they haveto having no idea who Estelle is.

Our company paralegal, Lori, reached out to Neal, advising him of the existing company fee agreement and powers of attorney thethat the previous officer, Estelle, had executed on behalf of XYZ LLC to allow GWR to attempt to recover the said funds, and that we would consider amending our company fee agreement if he (Neal) turnsturned out to be the rightful owner of the funds, which he quickly declined, stating that Estelle does not work for or with XYZ LLC in any way, shape or form, which if. If that is the case, it could raise concerns ifas to whether fraud washad been committed byon her end. In any case, we believe this could also be an issue for the attorney for inadequate preparation, conductconducting proper due diligence, and failure to represent. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
