Representative Matters
Representation of a Lawyer in a Case with National Exposure
We recently represented the previous General Counsel for a Central Florida State Improvement District in a high profile lawsuit brought by the State of Florida against a prominent Entertainment Company which also owns theme parks. This case involved complex issues relating to allegations of improper collaboration between the District and the Entertainment Company which resulted in a development plan which the State claimed was unfairly favorable to the Entertainment company.
Defense Verdict on Behalf of a National Department Store
We represented a national department store chain in this matter, wherein Plaintiff alleged that she slipped and fell as she was walking out of the front entrance of the store and stepped onto the yellow handicap ramp leading to the parking lot. This step led to her falling and fracturing her left kneecap. She had open reduction internal fixation surgery, including wire and two screws placed in her knee. At trial, the jury found no negligence on the part of our client and returned a complete defense verdict.
