Lawyer Case History

Huber v. Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

This case clarified the obligation of lenders to comply with a request to release a deed of trust and the liability associated with alleged failure to comply.  Section 443.130, RSMo. required a lender to provide a sufficient deed of release to a borrower within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a demand from the borrower.  The question was whether the duties placed on the lender survive the conclusion of the mortgagee/mortgagor (lender/borrower) relationship; or, stated another way, is a lender required to record a new deed of release after a demand from a borrower, even if the lender had released the deed prior to the demand.  The Supreme Court’s decision answered that question and held that a lender terminates the relationship by recording a deed of release prior to receiving a demand from the borrower and, thereafter, has no further obligations under section 443.130.  This was a case of first impression in Missouri.

Hodak v. City of St. Peters

Defense of First Amendment Retaliation case in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.  $1.4 Million Dollar verdict for Plaintiff was reversed outright by the 8th Circuit in a holding that established controlling authority regarding standing and damages in First Amendment Retaliation litigation.
