Representative matter

This example describes one matter and does not guarantee or predict a similar outcome. Every case depends on its own facts. Responsible attorney: Maureen Farrell, Farrell Legal Group PC, The Woodlands, Texas.

The court entered an injunction restricting insider payments and requiring accountings, and dismissed counterclaims against our client on summary judgment. The underlying claims remained pending for trial following those interim rulings.
Procedural statusThese were interim rulings. The underlying claims remained pending for trial following those rulings.
