Lawyers and client allegedly reneged on settlement

Contract 06

ST. LOUIS — A Missouri corporation is suing a St. Louis man and his lawyers for alleged breach of contract.

JCR Inc. filed a complaint on Nov. 7 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against Sims & Bailey LLC and Kaiser Churchman, alleging that the defendants breached a contract and settlement agreement by failing to comply with agreed-upon negotiations.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Sept. 26 the company negotiated a $19,000 settlement with the defendants with respect to construction on property at 4752 Louisiana. The plaintiff alleged it has  complied with all duties applicable to the contract, but the defendants allegedly never signed the settlement release agreement and did not replace the property's roof despite receiving the funds. 

The plaintiff holds Sims & Bailey and Churchman responsible because the defendants allegedly refuse to comply with the contract and settlement despite continuous demands of performance or return of the funds.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury; and seeks judgment in the amount of $19,000, with pre and post-judgment interest, and such other and further orders as the court may deem just and proper. JCR is represented by Robert E. Jones of Curtis, Heinz, Garrett & O'Keefe, PC in Clayton.

St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court case number 1722-CC11683
