Melton’s parents, Ken and Beth Melton, later hired attorney Lance Cooper to seek compensation from the company, leading to a two-year battle over internal company documents, McCaskill said.

Cooper did not see the document proving DeGiorgio’s alleged deception until after the suit was settled, McCaskill said.
