Steve Brand received $90,000 in wages, $90,000 in nonwage compensation and $90,000 in attorney fees, said the settlement agreement and complete release, which Texas Lawyer received under the Texas Public Information Act. In exchange, Brand agreed to fully release Travis County and Lehmberg from his claims and file a motion to dismiss his federal lawsuit, Brand v. Travis County.
