Victory for our client in Lopez v. Gil Ramirez Homes, Inc.

On June 26, 2009, Judge Larry Weiman granted Fryar Law Firm's motions for final summary judgment in full, and dismissed with prejudice all claims pending against our clients Gil Ramirez Sr. and Gil Ramirez Jr. in the case of Lopez v. Gil Ramirez Homes, Inc., 2007-74672, in the 80th Civil District Court, Harris County, Texas. On May 18, 2009, Fryar Law Firm had substituted in as lead counsel for Gil Ramirez Sr. and Gil Ramirez Jr. in a two-year-old lawsuit involving a personal injury claim arising out of an accident in late 2006 on a construction site on which Gil Ramirez Homes, Inc. was the builder. The plaintiff sued Gil Ramirez Homes, Inc. and several other companies that are owned, directly or indirectly, by Houston builder Gil Ramirez Sr. The plaintiff also sued Mr. Ramirez and his son individually. Mr. Ramirez was forced to retain separate counsel when his corporate insurance carrier refused coverage to Mr. Ramirez and his son as corporate officers. (A separate demand has been made regarding that wrongful refusal). Immediately upon entering the litigation, Fryar Law Firm filed motions for summary judgment and other motions attacking the pleadings with regard to the claims made against our clients individually. The lawsuit concluded in our clients' favor after less than two months from our entry into the litigation. Plaintiff's counsel is Andrew Sher, of The Sher Law Firm, PLLC, Houston, Texas. The Gil Ramirez companies are represented by Hal Hargis, of Irelan Hargis, PLLC, Houston, Texas.
