Ware, Jackson, Lee, O’Neill, Smith & Barrow, LLP partner, Dennis Barrow, defended a potentially catastrophic uninsured claim and obtained a settlement at a small portion of the plaintiff’s claimed damages.

Our partner, Dennis Barrow, represented an individual in a suit related to the sale of a business.  The plaintiff sued several defendants and asserted claims of fraud, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, conversion, unjust enrichment/quantum merit, entitlement to punitive damages, and treble damages.  The claims were not covered by insurance and presented a potentially catastrophic financial burden for our client in the event of an adverse verdict.  Prior to trial, the court granted final judgment against the other defendants in the suit and awarded $224,000 in actual damages, treble damages, and attorneys’ fees for trial, plus $10,000 in attorneys’ fees for each level of appeal, and judgment interest.  We proceeded to trial representing the sole defendant and obtained a significantly reduced verdict compared to the judgment against the other defendants.  The case was settled for the estimated amount of judgment and costs, $10,300.
