Lloyd Lunceford, a partner in the firm and editor of A Guide to Church Property Law, was quoted in the January 20, 2013, article titled “Chances Improving for Ex-Episcopalians in Property Fights”. The article discussed high-profile court cases in Texas and South Carolina that could reshape legal strategies in other states and denominations. "When no trust exists at all, the local church wins," Lunceford said. "The South Carolina Supreme Court, like many state supreme courts, has held that the mere presence of an assertion of a trust (existing) in a denominational constitution is insufficient to create a valid legal trust. There has to be more." Mr. Lunceford also co-authored the amicus briefs that were filed in both the South Carolina and Texas Supreme Court cases mentioned in the article.
