Texas Lawyer

July 11, 2011

A federal judge in Dallas has awarded attorneys' fees and issued a remand order, in part because factual allegations in an affidavit were mischaracterized and "unfavorable authority" was not disclosed by a defendant. Joe Longley, who represents the plaintiff in federal court, was awarded $10,000 in attorney's fees.
