Fancher Archer, Petitioner v. Nova Dean Griffith, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment setting aside a deed conveyed to the attorney under a contingent fee contract and upheld an additional $400 award, finding the fee unreasonable and the transaction unfair. The dissent argued no fraud existed and the deed should stand, while a concurrence agreed with the majority that the attorney bore the burden to prove fairness.
