Ware Jackson wins mandamus requiring trial court to set aside mistrial order following favorable jury verdict on fraud and contract claims

After a 3-week jury trial, Ware Jackson won a verdict on the client’s breach of contract claim and an award of $2.2 million in attorneys’ fees, while also defeating plaintiff’s $17 million fraud claim. Plaintiff obtained an order from the trial court declaring a mistrial, but Ware Jackson reversed that ruling through a successful petition to the court of appeals for writ of mandamus.
