Stan M. Chesley
“CLAYTON, JUDGE: Stanley Chesley appeals from an order of the Boone Circuit Court which ordered him to turn over his ownership interest in his law firm Waite, Schneider, Bayless & Chesley, Co. L.P.A. (hereinafter “WSBC”) to Appellees. The order also directed him to turn over any money he receives from WSBC to Appellees’ counsel and ordered Chesley to direct certain clients to turn over money owed to him or WSBC to Appellees’ counsel. Chesley argues on appeal that the court did not have jurisdiction over WSBC and could not pierce the corporate veil without WSBC being a party to the underlying action. Chesley claims the court’s order would deprive WSBC of its property without the company being given a chance to defend itself. Appellees argue that the trial court’s order did not direct WSBC to act nor was it an order against WSBC, rather, that the order only concerned the actions of Chesley. We agree with Appellees and affirm. “
