A WIN FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING 🏆

Today we want to share a victory that has been a long time coming - for our client, Hollie Kleitz, and for everyone who has ever been told to just "let it go" when something wasn't right.

Hollie is a real estate consultant who poured years of her life into helping developers put apartment complex deals together - projects designed to create affordable, comfortable housing for working families in Houston. She did the work. She earned her share. And then she was sued for the privilege of being paid.

For five years, she fought to clear her name and to recover what she was owed on the deals she helped bring to life. She drained her life savings. She lost work in her industry. She kept showing up.

After a hard-fought two-week trial, the jury sent a clear message: the case against her had no business being brought, and the promises that were made to her had to be kept. She won across the board.

We are so proud of Hollie. We are grateful for a jury that listened carefully and got it right. And we are reminded — once again - why we do this work.
