Freeman Mills Senior Litigation Associate, Jeff K. Heck, prevailed in an oil field services case filed on behalf of an East Texas oil field services company due to an operator’s failure to pay approximately $100,000 for well services. The operator counterclaimed for just over $400,000 alleging the services damaged the well causing it to be plugged. Prior to trial, Heck successfully excluded most of the operator’s expert witnesses. The Court awarded our client the debt amount, plus attorney fees and pre-judgment interest and entered a take-nothing judgment on the operator’s counterclaim.
