Sorry for jumping in here, but I think *our* confusion isn't with Houze having to give up how much he charges...but that in a different case, another lawyer read jail records and then reported to WW how much Houze charged. It wasn't Houze how much do you charge...
And if Houze was obligated to tell how much he charged, wouldn't there be a record of that somewhere?
I think the attorney who spoke to WW was saying that in a different case, where he (this other atty) either represented the defendant in question or was in possession of jail records through discovery of that inmate, he saw a notation by the jail about Houze.
Maybe something along the lines of, "WhateverDate: Atty Houze conferred with Inmate X. Inmate X reports that he declined representation by Atty Houze because he can't afford the $250k Houze would charge to take his case."
Pure speculation, but jail personnel do make records of some conversations with inmates. I'm guessing that might be how that atty came by the info.
