Teresa Daniel v. Marty Robertson and Brenda Robertson

Cullman, Alabama, personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the defendants on breach of contract and unjust enrichment theories.



In May 2022, Daniel commenced this action against the Robersons and Roberson Investments, III, LLC ("RI Three"). Daniel alleged that, in November 2021, Brenda approached her about the possibility of buying Vintage West, LLC ("Vintage West") -- Daniel's furniture, decorating, and design company. On December 31, 2021, Daniel and RI Three entered into an agreement, whereby Daniel agreed to sell Vintage West to RI Three for $2.7 million; the purchase price was to be paid in installments. Later, Daniel also entered into a 12-month consulting agreement to assist with the transition of ownership of Vintage West.



According to Daniel, the defendants decided to terminate her consulting agreement in February 2022. Daniel alleged that, after the termination, the defendants had ceased paying her compensation under the consulting agreement. Moreover, Daniel alleged that the defendants had refused to tender the final $1.1 million installment payment that had become due in March 2022. Daniel's complaint asserted a breach-of-contract claim and an unjust-enrichment claim.

Plaintiff's verdict for $10 million.



Appeal dismissed.
