Notable results
A Tarrant County jury awarded Lionel Telfort and Katiria Nunez more than $2 million on their underinsured motorist claim against State Farm after the at-fault driver's policy limits left their damages unsatisfied; State Farm's subsequent appeal was dismissed in 2024.
A Travis County jury sided with two commission-paid roofing salesmen who sued their employer for unpaid commissions, awarding them a combined $151,210.61 in damages plus attorney's fees and a share of future project proceeds; the Texas Third Court of Appeals later affirmed the judgment while modifying the attorney's fee award, and enforcement ultimately required a court-appointed receiver.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
