Software company ARGO Data Resource got all of what they wanted from David Harper and his team of Haynes and Boone lawyers after they convinced U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle to dismiss a theft of trade secrets case. Boyle even ruled the defense lawyers deserved a fee award for booting the plaintiff’s case.
But Harper and his fellow lawyers only got half of what they wanted from Boyle in fees. She cut their $1.2 million request down $600,000 in a recent order in Spear Marketing Inc. v BancorpSouth Bank.
