Complete Defense Verdict on $9.5 Million Claim in Partnership Dispute Affirmed on Appeal

At trial, Eileen O’Neill represented Southern Chemical Corporation and its individual partners in a claim brought against them by former partner, Tommy Cox.  Cox brought a $9.5 million claim against our clients for alleged fraud, breach of contract and tortuous interference with contract.  After a full jury trial, Cox was awarded nothing by the jury or court.  Not satisfied, Cox appealed and appellate specialist, Tim Lee, won the appeal. The appellate decision is Cox v. Southern Garrett, LLC, 45 S.W.3d 574 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.], 2007).
