MONTHLY SUCCESSES FOR JULY ’26
We Get Results
Every month our attorneys fight for homeowners, business owners, contractors, subcontractors, and consumers across Texas. While many firms measure success by the number of lawsuits they file, we measure success by the results we obtain for our clients.
July continued the Firm’s extraordinary momentum. Through aggressive litigation, strategic negotiation, and relentless preparation, our attorneys secured significant recoveries for clients throughout Texas. Because many of these matters resolved through confidential settlement agreements containing non-disclosure provisions, we cannot identify the parties involved. We can, however, celebrate the victories—and recognize the attorneys whose dedication made them possible.
MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT
Complete Victory in $15 Million Commercial Real Estate Litigation
Commercial litigation is often about far more than recovering money. In many cases, obtaining control of a valuable business asset is the client’s primary objective.
In one significant July matter, The Moster Law Firm successfully resolved complex litigation involving the ownership and management of a $15 million apartment complex. The dispute centered on contractual management rights and operational control of the property, placing a substantial commercial investment at stake.
From the outset, the Firm pursued an aggressive litigation strategy, combining targeted motion practice with strategic negotiations designed to maximize leverage while minimizing unnecessary delay. By aggressively advancing our client’s contractual rights early in the litigation, our attorneys substantially strengthened the client’s negotiating position.
The result was a complete victory.
Through the Firm’s efforts, our client obtained everything it sought, including specific performance of the parties’ contractual obligations and the turnover of full managerial control of the apartment complex. Achieving specific performance is an extraordinary remedy that underscores both the strength of the legal claims and the effectiveness of the Firm’s litigation strategy.
This outstanding result demonstrates The Moster Law Firm’s continued commitment to delivering sophisticated, results-oriented representation in complex commercial litigation throughout Texas.
Congratulations to Senior Attorney Kevin Green of our Austin office for securing this exceptional result and obtaining complete success on behalf of the Firm’s client.
$140,000 Builder Settlement on the Day of Trial
Sometimes the courthouse steps become the most effective negotiating table.
In one significant July matter, our client pursued claims against the builder of a defective barndominium involving extensive construction defects and resulting damages. Rather than face a Texas jury, the builder agreed to resolve the dispute on the very day trial was scheduled to begin.
The settlement totaled $140,000.00, bringing an outstanding result for our client after months of aggressive litigation and trial preparation.
The outcome demonstrates an important reality of litigation: cases are often won long before a jury is selected. Thorough preparation, strategic discovery, and the willingness to try a case frequently produce outstanding settlements without the uncertainty of a verdict.
Congratulations to Chief Counsel Chad Cotten of our Dallas office for achieving this outstanding result and demonstrating the value of meticulous trial preparation and aggressive advocacy.
$100,000 Default Judgment Against Defective Pool Contractor
Pool litigation continues to be one of the Firm’s signature practice areas.
When contractors refuse to participate in the legal process, Texas courts provide powerful remedies.
In one July matter involving defective pool construction, the contractor failed to properly defend the lawsuit, resulting in the Firm obtaining a default judgment of approximately $100,000.00 on behalf of our client.
This judgment reflects our continuing commitment to holding pool contractors accountable for defective workmanship and protecting Texas homeowners who have invested substantial sums in their homes.
Congratulations to Associate Attorney Sidney Skipper of our Dallas office for continuing the Firm’s outstanding record of success in defective pool litigation.
$55,000 Breach of Contract Settlement
Contract disputes frequently involve more than broken promises—they often threaten the financial stability of families and businesses.
In one confidential July matter, the Firm successfully negotiated a $55,000 settlement in a breach of contract dispute after aggressively pursuing our client’s claims and positioning the case for litigation.
Congratulations to Associate Attorney Devin Fletcher of our Austin office for securing this excellent recovery on behalf of the Firm’s client.
Contractor Pays $37,500 for Defective Flooring
Defective workmanship inside a home can dramatically reduce both value and enjoyment of the property.
In one July matter involving defective flooring, the Firm obtained a $37,500 recovery on the eve of trial, demonstrating once again that contractors often become far more reasonable when faced with the prospect of presenting their conduct to a jury.
Congratulations to Chief Counsel Chad Cotten of our Dallas office for another outstanding construction litigation victory.
$100,000 Recovery Paid to Client
Outstanding client results often reflect months of strategic negotiation, aggressive advocacy, and a commitment to maximizing every available opportunity for recovery.
In one significant July matter, The Moster Law Firm successfully secured a $100,000 recovery that was paid directly to the client, bringing a difficult dispute to a successful conclusion and providing meaningful financial relief.
The result demonstrates the Firm’s continued commitment to obtaining substantial recoveries through careful preparation, strategic representation, and relentless advocacy. While every case presents unique challenges, our attorneys remain focused on maximizing results and achieving favorable resolutions that make a real difference in our clients’ lives.
Congratulations to Attorney Dollar Hoang of our Houston office for securing this outstanding recovery and continuing the Firm’s tradition of delivering exceptional results for clients throughout Texas.
Homeowner Obtains Completion of Abandoned Construction Project
Not every victory is measured solely in dollars.
In one particularly challenging construction dispute, multiple contractors abandoned an ongoing project after receiving substantial payments, leaving our client with an unfinished project and losses exceeding $2,000 per day.
Following aggressive demands by the Firm, both contractors returned to the project and agreed to complete the work they had originally contracted to perform.
For many clients, obtaining completion of the project is every bit as valuable as obtaining monetary damages. This result illustrates the leverage that experienced construction litigation counsel can bring to difficult disputes.
Congratulations to Senior Attorney Erica Porter of our Houston office for obtaining a practical and highly valuable result that protected the client’s substantial investment and restored the project to completion.
Mortgage Payment Restored After Property Tax Dispute
Consumer litigation often requires creative solutions beyond the courtroom.
In one July matter involving dramatically increased property taxes and resulting mortgage payment increases, the Firm successfully persuaded a Major National Lender to restore our client’s monthly mortgage payment to its original amount.
The Firm continues to work with the taxing authorities to eliminate penalties and additional charges resulting from the retroactive assessment.
This matter demonstrates our commitment to protecting homeowners from financial hardships created through circumstances beyond their control.
Congratulations to Senior Attorney Erica Porter of our Houston office for obtaining meaningful financial relief for the client while continuing to pursue additional remedies.
Excellence Across Texas
From Houston to Dallas, Austin to West Texas, Moster Law Firm attorneys continue to produce outstanding results for clients facing some of the most difficult disputes of their lives.
Whether the case involves commercial litigation, construction defects, defective pools, contractor fraud, breach of contract, or consumer protection, our philosophy remains the same:
Prepare relentlessly. Litigate aggressively. Never accept less than the client deserves.
Every successful result reflects countless hours of investigation, discovery, negotiation, motion practice, and preparation by our attorneys and staff.
Congratulations to every attorney and staff member whose dedication made July another outstanding month for The Moster Law Firm.
