A breach-of-contract dispute between a Dallas-area probate and estate planning firm and its former legal assistant is going back to square one after Dallas’ Fifth Court of Appeals found it was erroneously transferred to the wrong county.

The Fifth Court in Kerri D. Condie P.C. v. McLaughlin vacated that ruling and ordered the trial court to send the dispute back to Collin County, where it was first filed.
