Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox, LLP (“LTPC,” the “Firm” or the “Applicant”), special
litigation counsel to Matthew D. Orwig, the liquidating Trustee (“Trustee”) for the estate of
FirstPlus Financial Group, Inc. (the “Debtor”), files this Third Application of Lynn Tillotson
Pinker & Cox, LLP for Allowance of Compensation and for payment of Expenses Incurred from
September 1, 2012 through April 30, 2014 (this “Application”).
I. SUMMARY OF APPLICATION
By this Application, LTPC seeks approval for payment of its attorney’s fees in the
amount of $1,000,000.00, which reflects LTPC’s one-third contingency fee interest in the
Trustee’s settlement with Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP f/k/a Olshan Grundman Frome
Rozenzweig & Wolosky, LLP and David Adler (collectively “Olshan”), which has been filed for
approval by this Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. [Docket No. 1013]. In addition to its
contingency fee, LTPC requests reimbursement of its expenses incurred from September 1, 2012
through April 30, 2014 (the “Application Period”) in the amount of $2,958.01. The total amount
sought by LTPC in this Application is $1,002,958.01. For the reasons set out below, LTPC
respectfully requests that the Court grant this Application.

III. BACKGROUND
3. On June 23, 2009, FirstPlus Financial Group, Inc. (“Debtor”) filed its petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code.
4. On July 24, 2009, the Court entered its Order appointing Matthew D. Orwig as
the Liquidating Trustee for the Debtor.
5. On April 29, 2011, the Trustee filed an application to employ LTPC as special
counsel to the Trustee in this Bankruptcy Case. [Docket No. 565].
6. On May 12, 2011, the Court entered its order granting the application and
authorizing employment of LTPC. [Docket No. 572]. As relevant to this Application, the
Court’s Order authorized the Trustee to employ LTPC as Special Litigation Counsel to evaluate
and pursue claims against the former professionals, fiduciaries and others affiliated with Debtor.
The Order provided that LTPC would be paid (1) a reduced hourly rate up to a total of $25,000
to evaluate the potential claims and then (2) one-third of any net monetary recovery by the Estate
pursuant to a standard contingency fee arrangement if claims were pursued. The Order further
provided that LTPC would credit the estate for any payment made pursuant to the reduced hourly
arrangement in the event that LTPC recovered under the contingency fee arrangement, which
credit was taken when the Court approved LTPC’s Second Application. [Docket No. 572].
Under the Court’s order, all compensation for fees and expenses were made subject to Court
approval under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the federal and local rules of bankruptcy
procedures, and other applicable guidelines and case law. LTPC’s Application is supported by
the Affidavit of John Volney attached as Exhibit A.

A. Summary of Work Performed and Results Achieved.
7. In June 2011, the Trustee (represented by LTPC) filed Adversary Proceeding
No. 11-03397 against former professionals and others affiliated with Debtor, including Olshan.
After responding to and arguing Olshan’s first round of motions to dismiss, and after filing his
First Amended Complaint and responding to Olshan’s second round of motions to dismiss, the
Trustee reached a monetary settlement with Mr. Adler and Olshan Grundman on May 19, 2014.
On May 28, 2014, the Trustee filed his motion for order approving the settlement. [Docket
No. 1013].
B. Summary of Expenses Incurred.
8. In providing professional services to the Trustee, LTPC has incurred actual and
necessary expenses in satisfaction of which LTPC has advanced and disbursed funds, and for
which LTPC now requests reimbursement.1
As set forth in the invoice attached as Exhibit B, the
actual and necessary expenses incurred by LTPC on behalf of the Trustee during the Application
Period amount to $2,958.01. The expenses incurred by LTPC are charged at the actual cost by
LTPC on a pass-through basis, with no mark-up or profit by LTPC. The expenses sought to be
reimbursed include the following categories:
• Transcripts from Crim. Trial $1,954.00
• Westlaw/Internet Search Service $ 522.94
• Copies/Duplication Costs $ 287.70
• Postage $ 136.99
• Courier Charges $ 55.27
• Long Distance Telephone $ 1.11
Total: $2,958.01
1
The Trustee previously reimbursed some of the expenses requested here by check in July 2012. LTPC
refunded that amount to the Trustee upon determining that the reimbursement occurred without Court approval.

#4817-7614-7739
The Invoice sets forth the date the expense was incurred or billed and the nature and
amount of the expense. No request is made for overhead expenses. The bulk of the expenses
sought to be reimbursed is related to obtaining transcripts of certain testimony from the parallel
criminal trial, which the undersigned counsel believed was necessary to successfully evaluate the
case for settlement. Copies were necessary to serve pleadings on various parties and to
disseminate documents to various interested parties as well as to prepare for the mediation
conducted with Olshan. Throughout this case, pleadings have been served on the parties in
interest. A copy service was used when it could provide services more cheaply than LTPC could
provide the same services in-house. Long distance phone calls were necessary to communicate
with various parties with interests in the case and in responding to requests for information from
various interested parties. LTPC incurred postage charges in connection with service of
documents on certain defendants who are not subscribers to the Court’s ECF system.
Computerized research has been utilized only when a professional believes that the benefits of
computerized research outweigh the cost of such research and that the costs will be less than
those incurred in utilizing more traditional research methods. Necessary computerized research
was extensive.
IV. RELIEF REQUESTED
9. By this Application, LTPC respectfully requests that the Court allow
compensation for professional services rendered by LTPC during the Application Period
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 330. In total, this Application requests allowance of compensation in the
amount of $1,000,000, along with expenses incurred during the Application Period of $2,958.01,
for a total requested allowance of $1,002,958.01.

#4817-7614-7739
10. The Bankruptcy Code specifically authorizes the bankruptcy court to approve the
employment and compensation of special counsel on a contingency fee basis. 11 U.S.C.
§ 328(a); Daniels v. Barron (In re Barron), 325 F.3d 690 (5th Cir.2003) (“Under 11 U.S.C.
§ 330, attorneys’ fees are reviewed for their reasonableness after representation has concluded.
In contrast, Section 328 ... allows an attorney seeking to represent a bankruptcy estate to obtain
prior court approval of her compensation plan.”). As explained above, the Trustee (represented
by LTPC) filed suit against and then settled with Mr. Adler and his law firm for $1,000,000 in
cash. Upon approval of the settlement, the net monetary recovery to the Liquidating Trust will be
$3,000,000, with LTPC owed a contingent fee of $1,000,000.
11. To the extent that Court considers the factors listed in Johnson v. Georgia
Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714, 717–19 (5th Cir. 1974) (the “Johnson Factors”) in
evaluation LTPC’s requested contingent fee, those factors support the award.
12. The Time and Labor Required. LTPC’s fee was a contingent fee for the work
performed. LTPC provided its services efficiently to allow the Trustee to continue this
bankruptcy case without undue delay.
13. The Novelty and Difficulty of the Questions Presented. LTPC’s employment
required them to perform services within their area of expertise, namely litigating business tort
claims against Debtor’s former lawyer and his law firm.
14. The Skill Required to Perform the Services. LTPC believes that its skill in
litigating business tort claims such as the claims alleged against Mr. Adler and his firm
contributed substantially to the settlement.

#4817-7614-7739
15. Preclusion of Other Employment Due to Acceptance of the Case. While
LTPC has devoted substantial time and effort to its representation of the Trustee in the adversary
proceeding, LTPC has not been precluded from accepting other employment.
16. The Customary Fee. The amount of compensation sought herein has been
computed pursuant to a customary contingent fee. The fee charged for LTPC’s services in this
case is equal to or less than the rates charged by other professionals of similar reputation.
17. Whether the Fee is Fixed or Contingent. LTPC’s fee is set according to
contingent, as previously approved by the Court.
18. Time Limitations Imposed by the Client or Other Circumstances. The best
interests of the creditors were served by pushing the case and settlement forward in order to
minimize expenses.
19. The Experience, Reputation, and Ability of the Applicant. LTPC submits that
it is respected for its skill in litigating business disputes. It is the Applicant’s belief that its
reputation is recognized and respected.
20. The “Undesirability” of the Case. Working on behalf of the Trustee in this case
has not been undesirable. However, LTPC’s fee is subject to approval by the Court and is
contingent upon a recovery.
21. The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship with the Client.
LTPC worked with the Trustee throughout the existence of the adversary proceeding. LTPC had
no prior dealings with the Debtor or the Trustee.
22. The Amount Involved and the Results Obtained. The amount of LTPC’s
contingent fee is calculated pursuant to the methodology previously approved by the Court.

#4817-7614-7739
V. COMPLIANCE WITH FED. R. BANK. P. 2016(a)
23. LTPC does not now hold or represent, and has not held or represented at any time
during the Application Period or otherwise, any interest adverse to the Trustee or the Estate with
respect to the matters for which it has been employed. LTPC is now, and has at all times
material hereto been, a “disinterested person” as that term is used and defined in the Bankruptcy
Code.
24. This is LTPC’s Third Application for payment of attorney’s fees and
reimbursement of expenses. LTPC received $250,221.80 in attorney’s fees and expenses
pursuant to its First and Second Applications.
25. No agreement or understanding exists between the Applicant and any other entity
for sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection
with this Bankruptcy Case. Applicant shall not share or agree to share with any other entity the
compensation awarded in connection with this Application, if any.
26. No agreement or understanding prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 155 has been made, or
will be made, by LTPC.
VI. NOTICE
27. A copy of this Application, together with exhibits, is being transmitted, inter alia,
(i) electronically by the Clerk of Court through the CM/ECF system to all parties receiving such
notice in this Bankruptcy Case and (ii) to the Office of the United States Trustee. A copy of this
Application without exhibits is being sent via regular United States mail, postage prepaid, to the
parties appearing on the master mailing matrix for this case. Accordingly, all parties entitled to
receive notice of this Application have received such notice. LTPC respectfully submits that no
additional notice of this Application is necessary under the circumstances.

i. granting this Application;
ii. allowing compensation for professional services rendered by LTPC as
special counsel to the Trustee during the Application Period in the total
amount of $1,000,000;

  • 2. 2 #4817-7614-7739 Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox, LLP (“LTPC,” the “Firm” or the “Applicant”), special litigation counsel to Matthew D. Orwig, the liquidating Trustee (“Trustee”) for the estate of FirstPlus Financial Group, Inc. (the “Debtor”), files this Third Application of Lynn Tillotson Pinker & Cox, LLP for Allowance of Compensation and for payment of Expenses Incurred from September 1, 2012 through April 30, 2014 (this “Application”). I. SUMMARY OF APPLICATION By this Application, LTPC seeks approval for payment of its attorney’s fees in the amount of $1,000,000.00, which reflects LTPC’s one-third contingency fee interest in the Trustee’s settlement with Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP f/k/a Olshan Grundman Frome Rozenzweig & Wolosky, LLP and David Adler (collectively “Olshan”), which has been filed for approval by this Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. [Docket No. 1013]. In addition to its contingency fee, LTPC requests reimbursement of its expenses incurred from September 1, 2012 through April 30, 2014 (the “Application Period”) in the amount of $2,958.01. The total amount sought by LTPC in this Application is $1,002,958.01. For the reasons set out below, LTPC respectfully requests that the Court grant this Application. II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. The Court has jurisdiction over the relief requested in this Application pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(a) and (b). Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409(a). 2. The statutory predicates for the relief requested herein are 11 U.S.C. §§ 327-328 and 330 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2016.

  • 3. 3 #4817-7614-7739 III. BACKGROUND 3. On June 23, 2009, FirstPlus Financial Group, Inc. (“Debtor”) filed its petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code. 4. On July 24, 2009, the Court entered its Order appointing Matthew D. Orwig as the Liquidating Trustee for the Debtor. 5. On April 29, 2011, the Trustee filed an application to employ LTPC as special counsel to the Trustee in this Bankruptcy Case. [Docket No. 565]. 6. On May 12, 2011, the Court entered its order granting the application and authorizing employment of LTPC. [Docket No. 572]. As relevant to this Application, the Court’s Order authorized the Trustee to employ LTPC as Special Litigation Counsel to evaluate and pursue claims against the former professionals, fiduciaries and others affiliated with Debtor. The Order provided that LTPC would be paid (1) a reduced hourly rate up to a total of $25,000 to evaluate the potential claims and then (2) one-third of any net monetary recovery by the Estate pursuant to a standard contingency fee arrangement if claims were pursued. The Order further provided that LTPC would credit the estate for any payment made pursuant to the reduced hourly arrangement in the event that LTPC recovered under the contingency fee arrangement, which credit was taken when the Court approved LTPC’s Second Application. [Docket No. 572]. Under the Court’s order, all compensation for fees and expenses were made subject to Court approval under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the federal and local rules of bankruptcy procedures, and other applicable guidelines and case law. LTPC’s Application is supported by the Affidavit of John Volney attached as Exhibit A. Case 09-33918-hdh11 Doc 1014 Filed 06/03/14 Entered 06/03/14 13:57:21 Page 3 of 19
  • 4. 4 #4817-7614-7739 A. Summary of Work Performed and Results Achieved. 7. In June 2011, the Trustee (represented by LTPC) filed Adversary Proceeding No. 11-03397 against former professionals and others affiliated with Debtor, including Olshan. After responding to and arguing Olshan’s first round of motions to dismiss, and after filing his First Amended Complaint and responding to Olshan’s second round of motions to dismiss, the Trustee reached a monetary settlement with Mr. Adler and Olshan Grundman on May 19, 2014. On May 28, 2014, the Trustee filed his motion for order approving the settlement. [Docket No. 1013]. B. Summary of Expenses Incurred. 8. In providing professional services to the Trustee, LTPC has incurred actual and necessary expenses in satisfaction of which LTPC has advanced and disbursed funds, and for which LTPC now requests reimbursement.1 As set forth in the invoice attached as Exhibit B, the actual and necessary expenses incurred by LTPC on behalf of the Trustee during the Application Period amount to $2,958.01. The expenses incurred by LTPC are charged at the actual cost by LTPC on a pass-through basis, with no mark-up or profit by LTPC. The expenses sought to be reimbursed include the following categories: • Transcripts from Crim. Trial $1,954.00 • Westlaw/Internet Search Service $ 522.94 • Copies/Duplication Costs $ 287.70 • Postage $ 136.99 • Courier Charges $ 55.27 • Long Distance Telephone $ 1.11 Total: $2,958.01 1 The Trustee previously reimbursed some of the expenses requested here by check in July 2012. LTPC refunded that amount to the Trustee upon determining that the reimbursement occurred without Court approval. Case 09-33918-hdh11 Doc 1014 Filed 06/03/14 Entered 06/03/14 13:57:21 Page 4 of 19
  • 5. 5 #4817-7614-7739 The Invoice sets forth the date the expense was incurred or billed and the nature and amount of the expense. No request is made for overhead expenses. The bulk of the expenses sought to be reimbursed is related to obtaining transcripts of certain testimony from the parallel criminal trial, which the undersigned counsel believed was necessary to successfully evaluate the case for settlement. Copies were necessary to serve pleadings on various parties and to disseminate documents to various interested parties as well as to prepare for the mediation conducted with Olshan. Throughout this case, pleadings have been served on the parties in interest. A copy service was used when it could provide services more cheaply than LTPC could provide the same services in-house. Long distance phone calls were necessary to communicate with various parties with interests in the case and in responding to requests for information from various interested parties. LTPC incurred postage charges in connection with service of documents on certain defendants who are not subscribers to the Court’s ECF system. Computerized research has been utilized only when a professional believes that the benefits of computerized research outweigh the cost of such research and that the costs will be less than those incurred in utilizing more traditional research methods. Necessary computerized research was extensive. IV. RELIEF REQUESTED 9. By this Application, LTPC respectfully requests that the Court allow compensation for professional services rendered by LTPC during the Application Period pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 330. In total, this Application requests allowance of compensation in the amount of $1,000,000, along with expenses incurred during the Application Period of $2,958.01, for a total requested allowance of $1,002,958.01. Case 09-33918-hdh11 Doc 1014 Filed 06/03/14 Entered 06/03/14 13:57:21 Page 5 of 19
  • 6. 6 #4817-7614-7739 10. The Bankruptcy Code specifically authorizes the bankruptcy court to approve the employment and compensation of special counsel on a contingency fee basis. 11 U.S.C. § 328(a); Daniels v. Barron (In re Barron), 325 F.3d 690 (5th Cir.2003) (“Under 11 U.S.C. § 330, attorneys’ fees are reviewed for their reasonableness after representation has concluded. In contrast, Section 328 ... allows an attorney seeking to represent a bankruptcy estate to obtain prior court approval of her compensation plan.”). As explained above, the Trustee (represented by LTPC) filed suit against and then settled with Mr. Adler and his law firm for $1,000,000 in cash. Upon approval of the settlement, the net monetary recovery to the Liquidating Trust will be $3,000,000, with LTPC owed a contingent fee of $1,000,000. 11. To the extent that Court considers the factors listed in Johnson v. Georgia Highway Express, Inc., 488 F.2d 714, 717–19 (5th Cir. 1974) (the “Johnson Factors”) in evaluation LTPC’s requested contingent fee, those factors support the award. 12. The Time and Labor Required. LTPC’s fee was a contingent fee for the work performed. LTPC provided its services efficiently to allow the Trustee to continue this bankruptcy case without undue delay. 13. The Novelty and Difficulty of the Questions Presented. LTPC’s employment required them to perform services within their area of expertise, namely litigating business tort claims against Debtor’s former lawyer and his law firm. 14. The Skill Required to Perform the Services. LTPC believes that its skill in litigating business tort claims such as the claims alleged against Mr. Adler and his firm contributed substantially to the settlement.

  • 7. 7 #4817-7614-7739 15. Preclusion of Other Employment Due to Acceptance of the Case. While LTPC has devoted substantial time and effort to its representation of the Trustee in the adversary proceeding, LTPC has not been precluded from accepting other employment. 16. The Customary Fee. The amount of compensation sought herein has been computed pursuant to a customary contingent fee. The fee charged for LTPC’s services in this case is equal to or less than the rates charged by other professionals of similar reputation. 17. Whether the Fee is Fixed or Contingent. LTPC’s fee is set according to contingent, as previously approved by the Court. 18. Time Limitations Imposed by the Client or Other Circumstances. The best interests of the creditors were served by pushing the case and settlement forward in order to minimize expenses. 19. The Experience, Reputation, and Ability of the Applicant. LTPC submits that it is respected for its skill in litigating business disputes. It is the Applicant’s belief that its reputation is recognized and respected. 20. The “Undesirability” of the Case. Working on behalf of the Trustee in this case has not been undesirable. However, LTPC’s fee is subject to approval by the Court and is contingent upon a recovery. 21. The Nature and Length of the Professional Relationship with the Client. LTPC worked with the Trustee throughout the existence of the adversary proceeding. LTPC had no prior dealings with the Debtor or the Trustee. 22. The Amount Involved and the Results Obtained. The amount of LTPC’s contingent fee is calculated pursuant to the methodology previously approved by the Court. Case 09-33918-hdh11 Doc 1014 Filed 06/03/14 Entered 06/03/14 13:57:21 Page 7 of 19
  • 8. 8 #4817-7614-7739 V. COMPLIANCE WITH FED. R. BANK. P. 2016(a) 23. LTPC does not now hold or represent, and has not held or represented at any time during the Application Period or otherwise, any interest adverse to the Trustee or the Estate with respect to the matters for which it has been employed. LTPC is now, and has at all times material hereto been, a “disinterested person” as that term is used and defined in the Bankruptcy Code. 24. This is LTPC’s Third Application for payment of attorney’s fees and reimbursement of expenses. LTPC received $250,221.80 in attorney’s fees and expenses pursuant to its First and Second Applications. 25. No agreement or understanding exists between the Applicant and any other entity for sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this Bankruptcy Case. Applicant shall not share or agree to share with any other entity the compensation awarded in connection with this Application, if any. 26. No agreement or understanding prohibited by 18 U.S.C. § 155 has been made, or will be made, by LTPC. VI. NOTICE 27. A copy of this Application, together with exhibits, is being transmitted, inter alia, (i) electronically by the Clerk of Court through the CM/ECF system to all parties receiving such notice in this Bankruptcy Case and (ii) to the Office of the United States Trustee. A copy of this Application without exhibits is being sent via regular United States mail, postage prepaid, to the parties appearing on the master mailing matrix for this case. Accordingly, all parties entitled to receive notice of this Application have received such notice. LTPC respectfully submits that no additional notice of this Application is necessary under the circumstances. Case 09-33918-hdh11 Doc 1014 Filed 06/03/14 Entered 06/03/14 13:57:21 Page 8 of 19
