Shurtleff Law

Cars crashing into restaurants, convenience stores, and shopping centers is a common occurrence. The reasons why this happens varies and can be due to many factors such as inattention, mistake in shifting to park, foot slipping off the pedal or a medical illness or seizure. One common theme is the landowner or business fails to place any protection for the building from vehicle traffic (such as a bollard, rock, concrete wall).

Shurtleff Law successfully helped a young man with serious injuries from this type of crash recently. We hope all of those injured at the restaurant a full recovery.

Break out the searsuckers. Attended Atticus Finch Day with my friends and colleagues in the Brazos County Bar Association .
In a profession that brings constant conflict, it's nice to reset and remember you can zealously represent your clients and still maintain civility and compassion. Atticus set a bar few will reach, but we can continue to strive to be more like him.w/ Marca Ewers-Shurtleff, Bryan City Council District 5

Sometimes you just take a case because you believe in it. Sometimes you just get a dog of a case.

After over a year of not having jury trials, Brazos County Court at Law No.1 conducted its first jury trial last week. Shurtleff Law was successful in obtaining a jury verdict in favor of our client Morgan Seekatz regarding permanent possession of her personal property (a dog!). Morgan did a great job, the jury loved her. Fantastic work by the whole team including Marca Theresa Ewers-Shurtleff

Morgan’s gorgeous doggie Nugget is happy too.

We all love our dogs. They are part of our family right? Interesting side note on Texas law regarding damages available for the loss of a family pet: Can a dog owner recover emotional based damages for the loss of a dog? The Texas Supreme Court says no. The law says that pet loss (just like other personal property) is limited to the market value of the pet, and a court cannot award damages for loss of relationship, love or companionship.
