Representative Matters

• Defended real estate brokerage in arbitration involving alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and breach of contract, while asserting successful counterclaims and recovering all client’s attorneys’ fees and case expenses
• Authored successful appellate response briefing in Texas’ 8^th Court of Appeals, in which a trial court’s summary judgment was affirmed on behalf of real estate broker as to claims of fraud by nondisclosure, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract and Texas DTPA violations, in addition to trial court’s award of attorneys’ fees as a prevailing party as to DTPA claims.
• Represented Oil & Gas company regarding enforcement of right of first refusal as to overriding royalty interests.  The 6^th Court of Appeals in Texarkana ruled that a settlement agreement referenced in a recorded assignment of overriding royalty interests as to over 100 oil and gas leases and giving the client company a right of first refusal on any sale of the leases was a covenant running with the land and binding on the original parties' successors.
