Allstate Texas Lloyds recently filed suit against R. Kent Livesay, accusing the Edinburg attorney of fraudulently representing several storm victims and demanding payment on their behalf. The lawsuit, filed Dec. 29 in Tarrant County, comes seven months after an El Paso couple sued Livesay for barratry, alleging he used a case runner to drum up business following an automobile accident.
