HMM Client Wins Defense Verdict After Jury Trial

A local grocery store operator represented by HHM lawyer Kevin Murphy recently won a defense verdict in a breach of contract case after a three-day jury trial in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court. The matter involved a claim for a substantial sum by individuals who wanted to buy the store and claimed Murphy’s client breached an agreement when it agreed to sell to a competing bidder. The unsuccessful suitor went to court in August 2022 for an injunction to block the sale, but the court denied the request. The claimant then sued for damages, leading to the recent trial. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Murphy’s client and rejected all claims.
