The Texas Supreme Court has denied further review of a $1.2 million summary judgment for breach of contract granted in favor of Ware Jackson’s client, a residential developer, which was previously affirmed by the First Court of Appeals in Houston. Michelle Blair handled the appellate proceedings and was a member of the trial team that secured the summary judgment along with Avery Sheppard and Don Jackson.

Associates Jordan Parker and Jared Peloquin took the lead on researching, drafting, and arguing an early motion for summary judgment for Ware Jackson’s client in a wrongful death case in which the plaintiff alleged the condition of our client’s property posed an unreasonable risk of harm. No argument was necessary when the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed Ware Jackson’s client from the case shortly after the motion was filed. This proactive strategy eliminated our client’s litigation exposure and avoided the cost of extensive discovery and trial. Ware Jackson is proud to have talented associates like Jordan and Jared on board and looks forward to delivering more exceptional results for our clients in the future!
