Ater Wynne scores trial court victory in commercial lease dispute

Last Friday, Ater Wynne trial lawyer Steve Blackhurst obtained a jury verdict in favor of telecommunications provider Verizon, following a two-week trial in Grants Pass.  At issue was the interpretation of a lease associated with Verizon's West Coast fiber optic system.  By a vote of 12-0, the jury denied the landlord's effort to terminate the lease.
