The former San Antonio attorney paid for a Florida home, automobiles and credit card charges for friends, lawsuits filed by a bankruptcy trustee allege.
Chris Pettit ’s friends, “intimate partners” and even one of his victims have been sued by the trustee in the disgraced ex- San Antonio lawyer’s bankruptcy case in an attempt to recover assets for the estate. San Antonio ’s Frost Bank and the Bank of San Antonio also are among those named as defendants in 13 lawsuits the trustee filed just before a deadline this week.
Did disgraced ex-lawyer Chris Petitt have help in stealing tens of millions of dollars from clients? But if victims were expecting a windfall recovery, they may be sorely disappointed. “While Pettit used some of the client funds to purchase tangible assets such as real estate, he also used a great deal of it in ways that did not preserve the value, such as private school tuition for his child and luxurious vacations,” Terry says in the lawsuits.
From 'friend' and 'family confidant' to jailed fraudster, the case of ex-attorney Chris Pettit American Express Co., the home builder, the pool companies and the car dealers have all been named as defendants. In another lawsuit, Terry alleges Benjamin Pitlock of San Antonio received about $300,000 in transfers from Pettit or his law firm. Another Pettit friend, Russell Ehrens of North Carolina, allegedly received almost $310,000.
