hen attorneys or law firms need outside counsel, the 20-lawyer litigation boutique Coffey Burlington has long been the first firm of choice. Coffey Burlington has become the go-to law firm for lawyers, thanks to its attorneys’ decades of winning results across a broad spectrum of high-stakes trials. Robert Burlington, the firm’s managing partner who has been recognized in Best Lawyers® since 2018 in three practice areas*, beams with pride while recounting the firm’s formidable legal talent, assembled during his 40 years of practice: “We have Kendall Coffey, a Best Lawyers 2019 and 2021 Professional Malpractice Law – Defense ‘Lawyer of the Year’ winner in Miami; Albert Caruana, Best Lawyers’ 2015 and 2018 Family Law ‘Lawyer of the Year’ winner in Miami; Andy Marks, Best Lawyers’ 2016, 2018 and 2020 Litigation – First Amendment ‘Lawyer of the Year’ winner in Miami and 2015 and 2022 Arbitration ‘Lawyer of the Year’ winner in Miami; Kevin Kaplan listed in Best Lawyers for 2022 in Commercial Litigation; former federal prosecutor Jeff Crockett with 36 years’ experience; and David Freedman with 45 years’ experience.” Given its depth of experience, Coffey Burlington is able to offer a diverse litigation practice that spans commercial and real estate litigation, trial and appellate matters, arbitration, and federal criminal law. And while Kendall Coff ey declines to name the lawyers or law firms that turn to Coffey Burlington when faced with threats or legal challenges, public court records reveal a “Who’s Who” of leading law firms that Coff ey Burlington’s attorneys have represented for more than 40 years. While the depth, scope, and credentials of the firm’s most seasoned partners is reassuring to its clients, Burlington (a Best Lawyers, Chambers,
and Florida Legal Elite Hall of Fame honoree) is quick to add that the firm’s continuation and succession is assured. Equity partner Susan Raff anello agreed and expanded: “Bob and Kendall coming together in 1978 was our beginning, staying together marked our progress, but working together is our real success. We remained disciplined and we selectively grew to assemble and retain the highly talented group of lawyers that comprise our firm. We got here by not being afraid to give up the good to go for the great, and we will continue on that path for the benefit of our clients.” Equity partners Kevin Kaplan, Paul Schwiep, Dan Blonsky, Susan Raff anello, and partner Melissa Jacobs have been winning for our clients in jury and non-jury trials, and at the appellate level, for more than thirty years. Albert Caruana, David Freedman, Andy Marks, and Jeff Crockett have been champions for our clients for more than forty years. “The firm’s younger lawyers are adding winning layers to the firm’s reputation and legacy” said partner Fernando Tamayo, the globetrotting Co-Chair of the firm’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Compliance and Defense group. “ I look forward to coming to work every day because I am energized and enriched by the support I receive from my colleagues. We challenge one another at every level and for the benefit of our clients. That process adds value to our preparation and our work product, across all practice groups” said Tamayo. Kendall Coffey added: “We are also fortunate to have a strong group of younger partners and associates who are among the best and brightest anywhere.” *Commercial Litigation, Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Defendants, Professional Malpractice Law – Defendants

We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

IS IGNORANCE BLISS?
Courts in South Florida have continued to hear cases, many of them years-long battles that are still ongoing. Here is a look at some recent court cases in South Florida. By Greg Sirico

Jamieson v. Town of Fort Myers Beach In 2002, James Jamieson purchased two parcels of vacant land, each roughly seven acres a piece, in the beach town of Fort Myers, Florida. Shortly after acquiring the land, Jamieson divided both parcels into 40 individual 50-by-110 foot lots, all with the intention of developing the land and selling each lot. In 1995, prior to Jamieson’s land acquisition, Fort Myers Beach was yet to be incorporated as a town and was under Lee County jurisdiction. Three years later, Fort Myers Beach was finally incorporated and with that came a comprehensive land use and development code plan. According to the Minimum Use Determination Plan (MUD), Jamieson’s land was ultimately unsafe to develop due to the lot’s proximity to wetlands. In March of 2003, the town completed a determination of Jamieson’s property, as per his request, and found that over 60 percent of his property was wetlands, therefore enforcing the town’s MUD plan. After an 8 year wait, Jamieson submitted a formal application for the town to conduct a redetermination of his property and ultimately failed to meet MUD standards once again. Since 2013, Jamieson has repeatedly filed suit against the South Florida Water Management District for improperly evaluating his land and has repeatedly been denied in trial court. Currently, Jamieson is seeking an appeal and yet again filing legal suit against Fort Myers.
The Florida Bar v. Phoenix From 2005 to 2007, Charles Paul-Thomas Phoenix acted as the primary lawyer for the newly established Cay Club Resort and Marina in the Florida Keys. Cay Club Resorts, a company founded just the previous year by David Schwarz and Fred Davis Jr., operated purely off investor interest and had a number of already established locations in Clearwater, Orlando, and Las Vegas. Unbeknownst to Phoenix at the time, the Cay Club Resort and Marina was actually a Ponzi scheme, which in just three years raised over $300 million from roughly 1,400 investors globally. Simply put, Schwarz and Davis Jr. would continually take in new investors, proceed to use their money to make “leaseback” payments to Cay Club’s initial lenders, and then failed to disclose their practices on federal documents. On top of that, between 2004 and 2008, Cay Club’s founders would go on to personally pocket $30 million apiece as well as gain the property rights to a rum distillery, gold mine, and a coal reclamation plant. Phoenix, who initially told authorities he was never aware or involved with Cay Club’s schemes, actually held an integral role from the time he was hired in 2005. In 2017, Schwarz and Davis Jr. were sentenced to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud and tax evasion. Currently, the Florida Bar is working to fully revoked Phoenix’s legal license, as he awaits trial for the same charges.
WVMF Funding v. Palmero In 2019, Roberto Palmero and his wife Luisa initially applied to be co-borrowers on a loan which would be secured by a reverse mortgage on their primary residence and homestead property in Miami, Florida. Eventually, Mr. Palmero would go on to identify himself as the sole borrower on the loan application, home equity conversion agreement, and the borrower’s note. During this process, Mrs. Palmero mistakenly signed the wrong section of their mortgage documents, making her the sole borrower instead. Shortly following this alteration, Mr. Palmero passed away, soon leaving Mrs. Palmero with a mountain of debt she couldn’t repay. Expecting a loan payment, OneWest, the predecessor to WVMF Funding, sent a foreclosure notice to the Palmero residence. Mrs. Palmero immediately argued the foreclosure, claiming she was the co-borrower, not the sole borrower, on the mortgage thus freeing their property from foreclosure. After review in a trial court, mortgage documents stated that she was in fact wrong not a co-borrower but would not be subject to foreclosure due to federal statutes put in place by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to prevent reverse mortgage foreclosures. Currently, Mrs. Palmero is filing suit against WVMF Funding for sending false foreclosure notices.

Jerry Hamilton Admiralty and Maritime Law Miami, FL
H
aving worked as a board certified trial lawyer for nearly 30 years as well as acting as Fellow to the Litigation Counsel of America, a society that only recognizes less than one percent of lawyers in the United States, Jerry Hamilton has easily cemented his place in Miami law history. Hamilton has been recognized by Best Lawyers since 2018 in Admiralty and Maritime Law and Litigation – Insurance. Hamilton stated, “I have been very fortunate to work with a great team at Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel who have been instrumental in getting fantastic results for our clients. Within the past year, we have had two defense verdicts, two significant marine cases upheld on appeal in the 11th Circuit, two summary judgments in some very highprofile maritime cases and have been successful in obtaining various dismissals in COVID-19 class action cases.” Hamilton noted that this work is a testament to HMB’s team effort and that his recognition as one for all the talented lawyers and professionals at HMB. After 25 years working in the field of law, Hamilton has learned that sometimes there are greater rewards than victory to be earned, all bearing no shortage in challenges along the way. “While winning is rewarding, the most rewarding aspect about my field of law is watching the impact our diverse firm and our clients have on the social landscape of our communities. Our marine clients have been there to help in every natural disaster or catastrophe thought the world. From the storms that have hit our homeland to the disasters in Haiti, our clients have been there to provide food, shelter and a lifeline to those in need.” The firm also continues to work through the Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel Charitable Foundation, which collaborates with the New Education Initiatives and other community partners to create unique programs advancing legal education. “These children will grow up to be the guardians of our democracy and it is truly humbling to be part of that endeavor.” As for challenges in the legal field, Hamilton stated: “Diversity continues to be a challenge. We are but one of a limited few firms in this space. Our industry is slow to change but we are making strides. Our results help us to blaze a path which shows that a diverse firm is far more equipped to deal with changing demographic in a marine market. With our clients’ help, we are meeting the challenges head on so that we can get more diverse lawyers into the practice so when one becomes a ‘Lawyer of the Year’ it is seen as commonplace and not an anomaly.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

POWERHOUSE TRIAL LAWYER AND THREE-TIME BEST LAWYERS® “LAWYER OF THE YEAR”* STEVE YERRID STAYS TRUE TO HIS ROOTS OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM BY GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
S
TEVE YERRID and the lawyers of The Yerrid Law Firm have a national reputation as courtroom leaders. But Yerrid and the firm are equally proud of their ability to enact improvements and positive change in non-legal forms as well. The Yerrid Foundation is a renowned Tampabased non-profit that has for several decades focused on a number of charitable and childrelated causes. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and a seemingly endless number of crises occurring simultaneously in the past two years, the self-funded foundation continued to carry out its mission in helping those less fortunate, society’s most vulnerable people in need, and giving a voice to the voiceless in 2021. “This has been one of the most challenging times on physical, economic and social levels and it could be easy to lose sight of others’ pain and needs,” says Yerrid, who founded the firm and his family’s foundation. “We want our fellow citizens to know that we will do our best to be there and provide some measure of comfort whenever possible.”
We Care
The social unrest surrounding police and the criminal justice system in the past year moved Yerrid deeply. Many of Yerrid’s courtroom results have revolved around public trust and knowing how fragile and sacred that can be; as a result, he wanted to better the relationship between local law enforcement and the citizens they are sworn to protect. To initiate the ef for t, Yerrid donated $100,000 to Metropolitan Ministries through The Yerrid Foundation, which funded the creation of 5,000 nonperishable We Care food boxes. In May 2021, the We Care boxes—each containing two dozen non-perishable food items, face masks, a community resource guide and a note from The Yerrid Foundation—were distributed by patrol officers and deputies to families in need. “I wanted to start or resume a dialogue between law enforcement and community members,” Yerrid says. “If an officer is coming by with an offering to help feed your family, people are more likely to welcome them in and develop a personal relationship. That effort of closeness is already making a difference. We Care got a great reception by law enforcement *Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs – 2012, 2015 – Tampa Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs – 2014 - Tampa
by Justin Smulison because this was the program they needed as a tool to get into people’s hearts.” Additionally, 500 backpacks filled with food, hygiene products and resource materials for Tampa’s homeless population, were distributed by Metro BrigAIDe, Tampa Police Department and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. This past month, Yerrid’s foundation donated an additional $100,000 to the
boost from one of The Yerrid Foundation’s beneficiaries—a 21-year-old devoted fan named Connor, who was wheelchair-bound for most of his life. The young man passed away in April, less than a month before the playoffs began, and in celebrating his life, his friends and family wore Lightning jerseys and photographed themselves passing Connor’s ashes in a Stanley Cup replica. When Yerrid sent the photos of Connor’s funeral to his

Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Week
The Yerrid Foundation continued to fulfill its mission by lifting the spirits of children facing adversity. Yerrid noted that the past two years presented unprecedented challenges for pediatric cancer patients, whose immune systems were further compromised due to COVID-19. “Pediatric patients were of course highly susceptible, but also had to deal with distancing and limited interaction because of their compromised immune systems,” Yerrid says. “Their courage and bravery have really motivated everyone around them, and we wanted to exert even more efforts to help these kids who were fighting both cancer and COVID.” During the 2019-2020 National Hockey League season, The Yerrid Foundation teamed up with the City of Tampa, the Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation and Tampa Bay area pediatric cancer fighting organizations for the 23rd year to spearhead the annual Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Week. The weeklong event in December 2019 brought together nearly every local cancer organization for the purpose of promoting awareness in Tampa Bay – and may have even made an impact on the ice. As the Lightning sought to retain the title of Stanley Cup Champions for the second year in a row in 2021, the team received an extra morale
personal friend and Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, Mr. Vinik requested additional photos to share with Coach Cooper and the team during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. “I’d like to think Connor was smiling from up above, knowing that his presence and memory helped influence his favorite team’s third Stanley Cup championship,” Yerrid says. The Yerrid Foundation has donated several millions of dollars for cancer research over the years. Through the Foundation, Yerrid has been a wish-maker for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He has been honored to receive the Children’s Cancer Center Kite Award, the Ronald McDonald Friends Award and the American Cancer Association Excalibur Award, as well as numerous other awards and acknowledgements. With public safety guidelines permitting responsible in-person events, Yerrid says he looks forward to hosting a special gathering for The Yerrid Foundation benef iciaries and their families during the 2021 holiday season. “I’m very grateful that we have been able to impact so many over the years and been in a position to ease some of the burden of the people in our communities, especially those who are suffering from medical and health conditions,” Yerrid says. “I’m extremely proud of our activities outside the courtroom, and I firmly believe that ripple effect of the good we do may turn into tsunamis of good by the people we help.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

Following graduation from Cornell University in 1974 and the University of Miami, cum laude, in 1977, Andrew Needle began practicing law with one of the premier personal injury and medical malpractice firms in Florida. Since then he has distinguished himself both in and out of the courtroom as a trial lawyer, author, and lecturer and has been called “a lawyer’s lawyer” over the course of his 40 years of practice pushing the bounds of existing law. He is a Florida Bar board certified civil trial lawyer, former editorial consultant to Matthew Bender Law Books, the author of “Post-Trial Motions,” Florida Civil Trial Practice, Chapter 18, thirteenth edition, and the author of ‘Inside The Minds’ Representing Plaintiffs in Medical Malpractice Cases, “Current Challenges in Handling Medical Malpractice Actions: Statutory Protections, Expenses, and Societal Misconceptions” (Thomson Reuters/ Asparatore2012). He has been named as one of South Florida’s Top Lawyers in medical malpractice by the South Florida Legal Guide 2002–2022. He was selected as a Heavy Hitter in health care law by the South Florida Business Journal, February 10, 2006, and selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America®️, 2007–2022 for Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice Plaintiffs.

ONES TO WATCH AWARDS
These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details

avid Keller is passionate about defending the reputations of lawyers. He is frequently engaged to represent some of the largest firms in the country and often defends “bet-the-law-firm” cases. Most recently he tried five significant cases within seven months, four of which he took over from other counsel after years of litigation—he prevailed in four, and settled a fifth one favorably for his client after 6 days of trial. In the five trials, claimants were seeking in excess of $37 million, plus substantial punitive damages against a major law firm in one of the trials. Keller’s clients will recover substantial fees and costs in three of the four in which he prevailed. He won two jury verdicts, and prevailed on a directed verdict after taking over the defense of one case less than a month before trial (recently affirmed on appeal). In one of the cases, after five days of trial, he successfully obtained a dismissal of claims, and complete relief on a counterclaim, with the court reserving jurisdiction to award fees, costs, and sanctions after exposing the case as a fraud on the court. But relatively few cases end up in trial, and Keller is equally effective in winning dispositive motions, handling arbitrations and mediations, and evaluating and resolving cases quickly and quietly when appropriate, often without formal mediation or arbitration. Keller also represents lawyers in Florida Bar Grievance proceedings. An instrument rated pilot, Keller handles significant cases throughout Florida, having handled matters in at least ten of Florida’s twenty circuits, as well as in all three of Florida’s U.S. District Courts.

aymond Robin has been practicing law in Florida for over thirty years. During that time he has developed a reputation as a lawyer with an uncanny ability to find the right legal theories to enable his clients to prevail in his cases. Whether it’s the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, Hadley vs. Baxendale, the Rule Against Stacking Inferences or some other obscure legal theory or doctrine, he is often able to use it along with his exceptional and persuasive writing skills to obtain early, successful resolutions for his clients. In the past few years he has obtained favorable results for his clients in three jury trials, numerous summary judgments, and most recently, Final Summary Judgment in favor of his client, a major national law firm, in a multi-million dollar class action suit.
