A Harris County State District Court jury awarded a $118,121,454 verdict to six investors that were defrauded by First National Bank of Edinburg, Conroe attorney Eric Yollick and a healthcare management group. Members of the jury found that First National Bank, Eric Yollick and the Merensky Reef Hospital Corporation breached their written agreement and committed fraud when the Defendants wrongfully conspired to take possession of three hospitals purchased by the investor plaintiffs.

Plaintiffs were also represented by Tim Pridmore and Andrew Seger of the McWhorter firm, along with Pat Zummo of The Law Offices of Patrick Zummo. Marc Tabolsky and Dori K. Goldberg of Yetter Coleman in Houston also assisted.

Verdict Search and Texas Lawyer took the Top 100 Texas verdicts since 2010 and chose the top decisions in six categories. JJJJ Walker vs. First National Bank won in the "Contracts" category.
