Attorneys John Guyton and Ron Barcena secured a decisive defense verdict after a four-day trial on behalf of their client, Bevis Concrete, Inc., in a construction defect lawsuit. Bevis Concrete was brought into the case as a Third-Party Defendant by Brantley Construction, Inc.

The Plaintiffs, dissatisfied homeowners, initially filed suit against Brantley Construction for alleged defects in the work performed during the construction of their home. In response, Brantley Construction sought to shift liability to Bevis Concrete, asserting claims for breach of contract, negligence, and common law indemnity.

After a four-day trial, the team achieved a complete victory, with the jury rendering a defense verdict in favor of Bevis Concrete on all counts. 

This result underscores our firm’s commitment to excellence in litigation and its ability to deliver outstanding outcomes for our clients.
