In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.” For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

The Yerrid L aw Firm

Catastrophic Injury, Wrongful Death, Product Liability, Medical Negligence, Premises Liability Steve Yerrid and the Yerrid Law Firm further demonstrated their resilience throughout 2020 and into 2021 by securing justice and moving injury and wrongful death cases toward favorable resolutions. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the firm continued its tradition of driving positive change on local and national levels. “We handle life-and-death matters and though we might not have been able to fight in court as we have historically done, the progress on behalf of our clients never stopped,” said firm founder Steve Yerrid. “Our talented lawyers and staff continued to carry on our mission to make society safer.” The firm has represented clients in various high-stakes, often precedent-setting cases and secured more than 300 verdicts and settlements of $1 million or more for individuals and the families of those injured or killed by the wrongdoing of others. Resolutions are finally being reached in matters Yerrid and the firm began litigating years ago. One such high-profile matter is a designated bellwether case against MGM Resorts International. Yerrid and Jeff Murphy represented two injured survivors of the Oct. 1, 2017, shooting at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

The husband-and-wife clients were both off-duty deputy sheriffs from Los Angeles vacationing and attending an outdoor concert when a gunman opened fire on the crowd. The gunman killed 58 and wounded more than 500 during what was the deadliest mass shooting by a single person in U.S. history. The litigation settled earlier this year for $800 million and payment to the victims has already occurred. Locally, Yerrid and the firm are representing the family of fallen Tampa Master Police Officer Jesse Madsen, who was killed in the line of duty on March 9, 2021. Madsen was driving home around 1 a.m. when he received a call about a driver recklessly speeding at more than 100 miles per hour the wrong way on Interstate 275. Within one minute of the call, Officer Madsen pulled onto the interstate to stop the driver; he intentionally drove his vehicle head-on into the wrongway vehicle in a fatal collision that saved a woman who would have otherwise lost her life. “Officer Madsen not only was a decorated combat veteran, but while serving as a police officer in Ohio and Tampa he was the recipient of numerous awards and recognition for exemplary acts of heroism,” Yerrid said.

WWW.SKYWAYBRIDGEDISASTER.COM • WWW.YERRIDLAW.COM

Considering the years he and his firm have supported the betterment of society through both litigation and philanthropic efforts through The Yerrid Foundation, Yerrid felt extremely honored to represent Madsen’s widow, Danyelle, and her three children, to get justice for the family and seek measures that would prevent others from suffering future tragedies. Yerrid said the wrong-way driver could and should have been stopped from entering the Busch Boulevard exit ramp through the existing roadway and traffic safety apparatuses and alarms that had been installed for that very purpose. “We are investigating why those ‘preventative’ measures failed to function correctly, as well as the work of the private contractors hired by the Florida Department of Transportation to install them,” he said, adding that a notice of intent to file suit will likely be served in the near future. Yerrid is in his element representing heroes and underdogs. His reputation for advocacy in the face of adversity dates back to 1980, when he received international recognition in one of the world’s largest maritime tragedies. In utilizing a rare “Act of God” defense, he was able to secure the complete exoneration of Captain John Lerro, the accused pilot in command of a large 608-foot bulk freighter which, during an unpredicted storm packing hurricane force winds, was blown off course and struck the mammoth Sunshine Skyway Bridge, collapsing its center span and tragically claiming 35 innocent lives. In the 1990s, Yerrid was appointed by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles as the youngest member of the 11-member “Dream Team” of private lawyers and took a leading role in Florida’s landmark lawsuit against the previously unbeaten cigarette industry. The

case resulted in the biggest monetary settlement in U.S. history at the time, ultimately topping $17 billion. When the tragic BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster happened, Yerrid was appointed Special Counsel to Florida’s governor, then Charlie Crist. Widely regarded as a trailblazer in the courtroom, Yerrid has been inducted into the national Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame and has received countless accolades and honors from peers and legal organizations throughout his career. He has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in Tampa for both Personal Injury Litigation (2014) and Medical Malpractice (2012, 2015) on behalf of plaintiffs. And for 2022, Yerrid has once again been named one of the Best Lawyers in America for both Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice. The firm’s extraordinary track record stems from his leadership. The Yerrid Law Firm has successfully represented plaintiffs in areas from personal injury, wrongful death, medical negligence, product liability, premises liability, and maritime cases to studentathlete safety and complex commercial litigation matters. “Everyone in the firm is committed to fighting for our clients and the causes we believe in. Our goal is to obtain justice and hopefully create a ripple of positive change that may prevent others from experiencing similar tragedies,” Yerrid said. “As courts continue to safely reopen and jury trials resume, we will be able to once again achieve public results in an open courtroom so that others will be more aware of the consequences of wrongdoing. Those are the high-value awards for clients and results that, hopefully, make our communities safer.”

George F. Gramling lll Environmental Law Tampa, FL

REVIOUSLY SERVING as chairman of the Florida Bar Environmental and Land Use Section, as well as acting as the in-house counsel for TECO Energy, Inc. from 1988 to 1992, George F. Gramling III has amassed nearly 40 years’ worth of environmental, energy and land regulation law experience, working with clients in both the private and public sectors. Currently, Gramling is being recognized by Best Lawyers as Tampa’s 2022 Environmental Law “Lawyer of the Year” for his continued efforts to ensure the environmental safety and future of the Tampa Bay community. “The Florida Environmental Attorney Bar is a relatively small universe of people. Having worked with most of them on cases, projects, legislation and other Florida Bar matters, I can say that my peers reflect the highest level of integrity and competence. Our firm has been a leader in the development of Florida environmental jurisprudence such as the Florida Brownfield Program, the application of Risk Based Corrective Action and many other facets of regulation and stewardship. “Participating in the Environmental and Land Use Law Section of the Florida Bar and in a number of seminars/publications gives us the opportunity to collaborate with our peers in many capacities. I am grateful to receive this rating and honor from my peers.” Graduating with his J.D. from the University of Florida in 1983, Gramling has seen firsthand just how drastically the field of environmental and energy law have changed since then, only anticipating both practice areas to grow in popularity. “Energy Law is going to grow, just like environmental law began in the 1960s and has grown to encompass all facets of our lives. A great Energy Law attorney has a deep historical perspective on the development of our current energy technology and is on the forefront of emerging regulation. After 37 years in this career field, I’ve come across so many interesting facts, patterns and clients to know environmental law will only continue to intersect with our everyday lives.”

TIME TRIALS Tampa courts 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 Tampa. By Gregory Sirico

LOCKWOOD V. OLIVER For Jeff and Joanne Lockwood, who planned to hit the ground running in their first major business venture post-retirement, immediate success just wasn’t in the cards. In September 2019, the Lockwood’s purchased a $250,000 security from Business Loan Solutions (BLS), eventually signing a formal Joint Participation Agreement locking them into business with BLS. According to the agreement, BLS assured the Lockwoods that they would secure a letter of credit and work in collaboration with foreign banks to monetize that letter in the form of a $30,000,000 non-recourse loan, minus $6,000,000 in brokerage fees. Additionally, BLS promised the Lockwoods that a financial instrument or tradeable assets would be secured in regard to their investment, that their loan would be funded and a loan schedule would be provided to them no more than 60 days after September 30. In the event that BLS failed to provide an adequate financial instrument in that time, the Lockwood’s investment would be repaid in full. Currently, the Lockwoods are seeking their investment back as well as additional compensation from BLS for failing to fund their loan and provide a schedule in the allotted amount of time.

BRINK V. DIRECT GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY In the early morning hours of April 5, 2008, Juan Luiz Ruiz Pereles was driving his father’s 2000 Mitsubishi to work when he collided with a motorcyclist at high speeds. Dustin Brink, the motorcyclist in question, sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision, leaving him in a coma for months. At the time of the accident, Pereles and his father were fully insured through the Direct General Insurance Company, having liability limits up to $10,000 per person for both property damage and bodily injury. Immediately following the accident, Brink’s attorney Alexander Clem contacted the insurance company requesting Pereles send over his insurance statement and any other necessary documentation. Pereles, who had difficulty speaking fluent English, received a letter from his insurance company in English advising him to send Clem his insurance statement, but failed to note that Brink’s claims would likely far exceed his liability limit, leaving Pereles responsible for any remaining amounts. After numerous failed correspondence between Clem and the insurance company from 2008 to 2010, Brink filed a lawsuit against Pereles, eventually proving his claim in trial making an excess of $12,000,000. Currently, Brink is seeking additional compensation, claiming the insurance company acted in bad faith for failing to provide him and his attorney as well as Pereles with all necessary documentation in a timely manner. MURRAY V. HUNTER WARFIELD, INC. This past January, while staying at the Hamptons at Pine Bend, an apartment complex in Mobile, Alabama, Karmeic Murray incurred an outstanding personal debt of $2,700. Despite her multiple attempts to contact Hunter Warfield, Inc. (HW), the company that holds majority ownership of the Hamptons, Murray was sent a letter threatening her to pay back the remaining balance or face immediate legal action. Immediately after receiving the letter, Murray filed a lawsuit against HW under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). FDCPA states that when making inquiries concerning outstanding debt, companies and debt collectors are prohibited from using false, misleading, deceptive or threatening language. After going to trial, Florida’s Eleventh Circuit Court denied Murray’s claim due to insufficient evidence and lack of threatening language found in the debt collection letter. Currently, Murray is requesting an appeal, with full intentions of a retrial in the near future. Disclaimer: All above cases summarized from full case documentation on Justia.

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

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

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.
