Our Pensacola office defended experienced developers in a multi-million dollar lawsuit involving a series of complex real estate transactions near Fort Walton Beach, Florida. After Todd M.

Hamlin, Jr. (Associate) presented a compelling case during the multi-day trial, the jury returned a defense verdict with only a few hours of deliberation and awarded our clients $585,000.00 in damages.

Attorneys in our Pensacola office defended a local title company and its principal against claims of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligent misrepresentation involving a real estate transaction for a residential development in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Todd M. LaDouceur (Director) and Henry R. Ramos (Associate) aggressively challenged the Plaintiffs’ case and their key witnesses. The result: directed verdicts on three of six counts in our clients’ favor. Before we called a single witness, the Plaintiffs realized that pressing forward would be futile and voluntarily dismissed the remaining claims.

LaDouceur (Director) and Matthew Lee Reeder (Associate) of our Pensacola office presented a compelling theme and a creative strategy that produced a verdict of $450,000.00 in damages for our client and no liability on the counterclaim.
