Attorney Ralston Successfully Defends Local Payphone Company

Attorney Andy Ralston recently represented a local payphone company against a claim that it had entered into a contract to manage, not own, a route of approximately 700 payphones. Attorney Ralston's client averred that he orally agreed to purchase, not manage, the route. The case took place in Lehigh County and consisted of several days of testimony. The opposing side presented three witnesses and a notary public who claimed that Attorney Ralston's client had signed a supposed service agreement. Through hard-hitting cross-examination, Attorney Ralston was able to establish that none of the witnesses were believable. Based upon the testimony elicited by Attorney Ralston, the Court determined that the supposed service agreement was a forgery and, therefore, not binding. Attorney Ralston's client's claim for breach of oral contract will proceed later this year.
