On February 16, 2022, Werge Law won a complete defense verdict for its client following a three-day jury trial in the El Paso County District Court. The case was filed in January of 2019 by two disgruntled former business associates of Werge Law’s client. Werge Law filed a motion to dismiss, and successfully obtained dismissal seven of the eight claims brought by the plaintiffs.
A single count for alleged defamation survived the motion, and the trial was originally scheduled for trial in the fall of 2020. Due to the pandemic, however, the trial was continued multiple times. Finally, on February 14-16, 2022, Werge Law attorney Dan Williams represented our client for the jury trial. Following the presentation of evidence, the jury deliberated for only two hours and fifteen minutes before delivering their verdict completely in favor of our client. We are thrilled that we were able to assist our client in obtaining justice after such a long ordeal.
