Court Upholds Judgment in Favor of Former Police Officer
HOUSTON, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The 14th Court of Appeals in Houston issued its opinion affirming judgment in favor of Looper Reed & McGraw client Troy Perry. Mr. Perry filed suit in 2006 against Alief Independent School District and two of its police officers for violating his rights under the Texas Whistleblower Act and the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

A Harris County jury returned a verdict in Perry's favor and issued a final judgment of more than $900,000. Looper Reed attorneys Jim Reed and Mitch Ackal represented Perry. After trial, Reed was honored by the Texas Lawyer as "Litigator of the Week."
