Defense Verdict in Trial Alleging in Excess of $11 Million Against Clients
A Federal Judge entered final judgment in favor of Defendants following a contentious trial of allegations of professional negligence against a law firm and its attorneys brought by their former client seeking in excess of $11 Million in damages. During the trial, the plaintiff alleged that malpractice by defendants resulted in loss of their business in bankruptcy. Defendants denied the allegations and asserted that Plaintiff was fully advised at all times as to its legal position and was simply unhappy that the matter did not end in the former client’s favor. On cross-examination of plaintiff’s expert witness by defense counsel, Cody Towns, the expert conceded that no causal link existed between any advice by counsel and the loss of business. The trial ended in a verdict in favor of Defendants. Cody Towns served as co-counsel with Mark Andrews of Dallas on behalf of Defendants. The case is North Park Terrace Apartments V, LTD v. Wright Ginsberg Brusilow, P.C., et al., Case No. 10-45828, In the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas - Fort Worth Division.
