Hal S. Pope and D.J. Johnson of Pope-Johnson Productions.

NEW ORLEANS – A New Orleans-based defense contractor is being sued by a video production company for alleged incomplete payment for subcontracted services.

Hal S. Pope and Pope-Johnson Video Productions filed suit against WeStream Technologies, LLC in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court on Sept. 26.
