I was honored to serve as co-counsel alongside Craig Goldenfarb, Esq. in representing Angela and Bernie Dow in their claims against Disney World, arising from Angela’s trip-and-fall incident in Tomorrowland due to improper lighting conditions.
I was honored to represent a young mother of two who was shot and left for dead by her boyfriend in the home they shared with their children. He then took his own life. Other attorneys declined her case due to the lack of insurance coverage, but I took it on faith—because it was the right thing to do. After a two-year battle, we secured a meaningful recovery from the estate, helping to pay her medical bills and bring her a sense of justice. It’s one of the most rewarding cases I’ve ever handled.
Our office was honored to serve as co-counsel in a case against the Florida Department of Corrections involving the sexual assault of our client by a probation officer. Despite a prior history of inappropriate conduct toward female supervisees, the Department failed to take disciplinary action or remove him from his position.
We pursued the matter under theories of negligent hiring and negligent retention, and the case was resolved to the satisfaction of our client
Our office represented a young woman whose image was wrongfully used in a news article promoting a sexual harassment class action against McDonald’s—a case she had no connection to. She had never experienced misconduct nor joined any litigation. We filed suit for misappropriation of her name and likeness, which appeared to be chosen to attract attention. The matter resolved confidentially, and our client was satisfied with the outcome.
It was my honor to represent Linda Strickland, in her claim against this cemetery for this outrageous conduct that no grieving mother should ever experience at a cemetery.
25 years ago, I represented a South Florida family in a civil rights case after their son died in police custody—a story that dominated the local news. We sued the department, but the odds were stacked against us. The agency had layers of legal defenses, institutional backing, and a playbook built to deflect accountability.
I urged the mother to accept a modest settlement. It wasn’t ideal, but it offered certainty and some measure of justice. She declined, hoping the court would see it her way at summary judgment. It didn’t. The case was dismissed, and the family walked away with nothing.
Hard truth: cases against law enforcement are uphill battles. That experience taught me to weigh every offer seriously. Sometimes, a guaranteed result—however small—is better than risking everything for a verdict that may never come.
