Houston Litigators Obtain Complete Dismissal of $1 Million Claim

Featured: Denise Lambert, Jonathon Austin

Houston attorneys Denise Lambert and Jonathon Austin obtained a complete dismissal of a Plaintiff’s Petition in Harris County, Texas. Denise and Jonathon delivered strategic defense representation that protected our clients’ business. Galloway continues to go way above and way beyond for clients facing complex litigation in Texas.

Background
In this case, Galloway represented a gym that is present across the nation. Plaintiff was seeking in excess of $1,000,000 for a claim involving defamation, retaliation, conspiracy, and discrimination. The Houston team implemented a strategic approach that focused on procuring a dismissal first, and if needed, proceeding with a motion for summary judgement based on the facts of the case.

Denise and Jonathon filed two separate 91A Motions to Dismiss before a tough Judge. Despite efforts from opposing counsel to keep the Petition alive, Galloway’s Motion to Dismiss was granted.

91A Motion in Texas
In Texas, a 91A Motion to Dismiss is a motion to dismiss when there is not a basis in law or fact for the lawsuit. In this particular case, Denise and Jonathon argued that there was not a basis in law or fact to proceed with the case.

91A Motions take place before discovery and can be challenging to see granted. The Galloway team was confident in their strategy, tailoring their approach to avoid engaging in discovery to keep litigation costs down for their client.
