Jury provides big award to developer

Developer Michael Atcheson received bad news from a Jackson County jury who awarded a $280,650 against him in favor of his former business partner, Major Hammett, II.

Attorney Mark Bredemeier, principal of the The Law Offices of Mark Bredemeier in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, represented Atcheson.

Hammett filed the lawsuit in 2011 relating to a development project in Bolivar, Missouri that had been stalled.  He argued that Atcheson used funds from the Simon Square development project for political contributions and overpayments to construction companies that he owed.

Attorney Troy Renkemeyer of Overland Park’s RCW Law Firm LC represented Hammett.
