DGC Client Prevails in Eastland Court of Appeals

John "Jad" Davis | Julie Griffis

In April 2024, the Eastland Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court win for a DGC client, granting her insurance proceeds paid after her husband’s death. The Court considered issues of notice and contract construction. Firm shareholders John A. “Jad” Davis and Julie L. Griffis handled the appeal, with the proceeding before the trial court handled by separate counsel. See Shumskie v. Finnell, 688 S.W.3d 380 (Tex. App.—Eastland 2024, pet. denied).
