A customer's breach of warranty case against Sadler Construction Company was successfully defended by John Norris in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court. Norris' motion to dismiss the claim under the statute of limitations and for failure to give the required statutory notice of the claim was granted by the trial court. The Virginia Supreme Court has denied the homeowner's appeal.
John Norris, acting as lead counsel for Turner Construction Company, won a landmark jury trial that lasted nearly 4 months, involved over 40 witnesses and 2,00 exhibits and resulted in a verdict in favor of his client in excess of 1.6 million dollars.
John Norris has just been notified of his selection for inclusion in the 2011 edition of the Best Lawyers in America in the field of Construction Law. This is the second year in a row Mr. Norris has received this honor. He was also nominated on two previous occasions as one of the “Legal Elite” in the field of Construction Law by his peers in the Virginia Bar through a poll conducted by Virginia Business Magazine.
