Score one for plaintiffs law firms in the fallout from the tort reform wars. San Antonio’s Fourth Court of Appeals reversed and remanded a trial court ruling that had allowed a hospital to recover attorney fees from The Law Offices of Preston Henrichson after the Edinburg firm withdrew from representing a plaintiff that sued the hospital.

The hospital will file a motion for reconsideration with the appeals court, according to its lawyer Ron Hole, a partner in McAllen’s Hole & Alvarez.
