A selection of recent outcomes, organized by practice area.
Criminal cases often turn on details that the police report leaves out and that depositions bring to light. Here is how recent cases were resolved.
Non-conviction
Felony arrest in Hernando County for battery on a person 65 or older and strangulation. After several months of litigation and depositions, the State dropped the strangulation charge, dropped all restitution sought, and resolved the case with a non-conviction on the battery.
A DUI is really two cases, one at the DMV and one in criminal court, and the outcome depends on the facts of the stop. Here is how recent cases were resolved.
No jail
Pinellas County felony DUI arrest for a fourth DUI, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. After several months of negotiation, the case was resolved with no jail, treatment, and minimum DUI sanctions.
No conviction
DUI arrest after the client was found passed out behind the wheel at the entrance of a busy gas station. After several months of litigation, and presenting details that were not available during the initial investigation, the State agreed to amend the charge to reckless driving with no conviction.
When an insurer ignores a claim or refuses to pay what it owes, a fair settlement takes work. Here is what these injured workers recovered.
$679,000
A worker fell from a tree, injuring his hand and shoulder, and the insurer refused to reimburse his out-of-pocket medication costs. Those expenses were repaid in full, and the case settled for $679,000.
$175,000
A worker hurt his back lifting a defective spring-loaded ramp on a jobsite, and the insurer ignored the claim. He received the care he needed, and the case settled for $175,000.
Over $75,000
A worker injured his knee in a fall on an uneven surface in his employer’s parking lot, and the insurer ignored him. He was paid over $20,000 in back lost wages plus penalties and interest, and the case later settled for over $75,000.
$47,500
A worker was in a car accident while traveling to a remote jobsite. We ensured all of his medical bills and lost wages were paid through workers’ comp. He received a $100,000 auto accident settlement plus $47,500 for the work injury case.
