Congratulations to Partner Lauren Lopez who obtained a complete dismissal of all claims against a client! This was a premises liability case in Dallas County, and there was conflicting case law allowing the Judge to rule either way. There was a policy limits demand prior to mediation. Instead of settling, Lauren argued her Motion and the Plaintiff’s claims against the client were dismissed with prejudice.
