Addie L. Jones

FOCUS LINKS

Addie is a key member of the business and insurance law team at White&Co, Dallas Texas because of her extensive experience of civil litigation handling personal injury, products liability, premises liability, construction defect and employment matters from case inception through trial in state and federal court before judges and juries having started her career as a lawyer as Assistant District Attorney

The recent defense of an employment compensation dispute in federal court exemplifies the effectiveness and efficiency of her approach as noted by Judge and client.

- She reviewed thousands of e-mails and financial documents produced to accurately evaluate liability and predict exposure at trial.

- Significantly, the court struck the opposing expert opinion and two claims after the first day of trial because she successfully argued a motion to strike and insufficient evidence motions, which cut damages in half.

- The first time in front of the Judge was at pre-trial conference, which is unusual, because we resolved discovery disputes and groundless motions. With the jury present, the court complimented our efficient and professional defense and said this was one of the very rare times he has done so. The court again said at trial’s end how impressed he was with our conduct, without bickering, unfounded argument, or delay tactics.
