ABOUT US

For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

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 Law Firm

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, CATASTROPHIC INJURY, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, WRONGFUL DEATH

Steve Yerrid and the Yerrid Law Firm continued a 40-plus-year tradition of excellence in all areas of civil trial law as courts safely reopened in 2022. The firm further solidified its local and national reputation for leadership in and out of the courtroom—from representing clients in high-stakes legal matters to supporting multiple philanthropic causes with both time and funding.

Headquartered in Tampa, serving clients throughout Florida, and the nation, the firm has obtained billions of dollars in verdicts, settlements and judgments. This includes Yerrid’s more than 300 individual recoveries in excess of $1 million in the areas of catastrophic injury, product liability, construction defects, medical malpractice, premises liability, trucking and motor vehicle accidents and various types of civil litigation.

“The firm is comprised of true leaders in the legal and local community who have their feet planted firmly on the ground,” said Yerrid, who has been continuously included over the last five decades in Best Lawyers®. Additionally, he has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in Tampa for both Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (2014) and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs (2015) on behalf of plaintiffs on numerous occasions. “Through our successes and advocacy I believe we have helped create a safer environment for clients, our citizenry and future generations.”

Under Yerrid’s leadership, the firm has taken on some of the largest and most well-monied entities in the country, almost always with favorable results. These achievements date back to the 1990s, when 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. It also resulted in drastic advertising restrictions and halted the cigarette cartel and its

pandering to America’s youth.

In the BP oil spill catastrophe, he represented the City of Tampa and obtained a $27 million settlement. It was the largest amount paid to any city in the country.

Currently, Yerrid and the firm represent the family of fallen Tampa Master Police Officer Jesse Madsen, who was killed while protecting his community on March 9, 2021. Madsen was off-duty and driving home around 1 a.m. when he received a call that a driver recklessly speeding and traveling the wrong way on Interstate 275. Within a minute of the call, Officer Madsen, a multiple decorated police officer and war veteran, intercepted the vehicle and selflessly and intentionally drove head-on into the wrong way driver, resulting in a fatal collision. This heroic act protected a woman who would have been killed if not for his decision to give his life in order to save hers.

In late June 2022, Yerrid filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of widow Danyelle Madsen and her young children against the Florida Department of Transportation and one of its major private contractors for creating what he refers to as a “foreseeable zone of risk.”

“Had the safety apparatuses and alarms functioned properly, the wrong-way driver could and should have been prevented from entering the Busch Boulevard exit ramp, and Officer Madsen would likely be with his wife and children today,” Yerrid added.

Yerrid and firm member Jeff Murphy represented victims of the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting at Mandalay Bay, which resulted in a settlement of $800 million for those injured and the families of those killed. The firm represented a husband and wife, both deputy sheriffs from Los Angeles, who were vacationing and attending an outdoor concert when a gunman opened fire from a the hotel on the crowd below. The gunman killed 58 and wounded more than 500 during what was the deadliest mass shooting by a single person in the nation’s history.

The firm’s roster of seasoned trial lawyers is comprised of professionals from

all walks of life. These diverse perspectives keep The Yerrid Law Firm at the forefront of trial practice and on the cutting edge of courtroom abilities.

“We understand what it takes to succeed at trial, and we continually reshape ways we present cases to juries,” Yerrid said.

The impact of the many legal achievements obtained in the courtroom also extends to those in need through the philanthropic actions of The Yerrid Foundation. Over the years, the selffunded family foundation has donated millions of dollars and supported over 500 charitable causes.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread social unrest surrounding the criminal justice system in May 2021, Yerrid sought to reestablish trust, respect and communication between law enforcement and the public. To initiate the effort, Yerrid donated $100,000 to Metropolitan Ministries to create a “community model,” which has since been utilized in other localities as well. Through The Yerrid Foundation, 5,000 nonperishable “We Care” food boxes were created to feed families in distress and personally distributed by Tampa police officers and sheriff’s deputies throughout the neighborhoods they patrol.

Additionally, his partnerships with NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and the City of Tampa have treated more than 100,000 pediatric cancer patients, their families and caregivers to a night of hockey and cancer awareness over the last 23 years. The annual Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Night has continued despite the unprecedented challenges caused by the pandemic.

“We fight passionately for our clients and their causes,” Yerrid said. “With the Foundation, I am able to support people who need help and simply deserve a chance in life. Justice and compassion for others fuel my soul. I believe that what you put into the world is what you receive in return, and that philosophy permeates everything we do at The Yerrid Law Firm and The Yerrid Foundation.”

Amy L. Drushal

Financial Services Regulation Law Tampa, FL

Since 2003, Amy L. Drushal has devoted her career to assisting and representing her clients through complex legal matters, primarily focusing on Financial Services Regulation Law. As a full-time attorney, Drushal currently works for Tampa-based firm Trenam Law, also serving as a shareholder.

Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2019, Drushal is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Financial Services Regulation Law in Tampa for 2024, previously being honored in 2022 for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law and Commercial Litigation.

Of her legal career and recent recognition, Drushal stated: “I have the opportunity to learn about different companies and different areas of law for each case. It makes each case interesting and rewarding in getting to learn about a client’s business and what they do. It also helps me prepare clients for future issues that may arise in their businesses. I find that the most challenging aspects are navigating the different rules and procedures for every court and every judge because there are different rules, procedures and policies for every single judge and every single circuit or district, so you have to be diligent in checking to make sure you have done everything correctly for the judge before whom you appear and in the court in which your case resides. Also, post-COVID-19, the courts are more crowded than ever, and it can be difficult managing clients’ expectations as to how soon a case can get to court, as it is something out of my control.”

With 20 years of legal experience under her belt, Drushal is well-versed in handling cases in a wide variety of complex legal matters, including real estate, employment disputes and bankruptcy and creditor’s rights matters. Additionally, Drushal was recently appointed to serve as co-chair of the firm’s Financial Services Industry Team as well as the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Group.

“That the firm trusts me to assist in leading this fantastic group of attorneys has meant a great deal to me personally and professionally. After 20 years in this career field, I think great attorneys are responsive, respectful and know their clients’ businesses, and I believe I have those traits. With that, I’ve had a significant number of memorable cases. By far, my most memorable was working with the ACLU to get the pat-downs stopped at Raymond James Stadium. In that case, we were in the state trial and appellate court and then the federal district and appellate courts, with a trip to the U.S. Supreme Court, where our petition for writ of certiorari was denied. Recently, one of my favorite cases was working with a Spanish winery who had a dispute with their former U.S. importer. It was interesting learning about wine and the import business

Tampa Hospital Suffers Recent Data Breach

By Gregory Sirico

IN LATE JULY, the Tampa General Hospital (TGH), a non-profit research and academic-based medical center located in the heart of the coastal Florida city, posted an updated notice to its website, announcing to patients that the facility was recently subjected to a massive cyberattack. The data breach allegedly leaked the personal information of roughly 1.2 million TGH patients and stated that an unauthorized and unidentified third party carried out the cyberattack. As a result, the responsible party accessed patients’ sensitive information, including full names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, treatment records, patient account numbers and various Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-protected medical records. In the following weeks, TGH representatives launched a full-scale investigation in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement, which determined that the data breach occurred between May 12 and May 31. All 1.2 million patients affected were subsequently notified two months after the initial breach.

On August 7, Orlando-based law firm Morgan & Morgan filed class action claims against TGH on behalf of only three victims affected by last month’s data breach. According to

the plaintiffs involved, TGH failed to secure and safeguard their personal medical data and further exacerbated the issue by not notifying patients until the end of July, well over two months after the initial breach. Additionally, the lawsuit states that TGH was utterly unaware of the data breach until May 31, allowing the hackers that carried out the cyberattack roughly three weeks to gather patient information and remain fully undetected. The plaintiffs, who are choosing to stay anonymous due to the data breach’s severity, include a retired FBI agent and an individual who had a past experience with online identity theft.

“Our clients’ allegations in this case paint a picture of Tampa General Hospital’s cavalier attitude toward cybersecurity

and patient privacy. This is not the first time Tampa General Hospital has allegedly failed to protect its patients’ personal data—this data breach follows a 2014 breach. It is our hope that this lawsuit will not only secure justice and accountability for the patients whose privacy and peace of mind have been irrevocably violated but also will spur Tampa General Hospital to take additional steps to protect their patients’ privacy in a manner appropriate for the current climate of cyber-attacks,” stated John Morgan and Ryan McGee, the Morgan & Morgan attorneys assigned to the case, as reported originally by Infosecurity Magazine.

The standing lawsuit against TGH accuses the facility of violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act and includes allegations of invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, breach of confidence, fiduciary duty and contract claims. According to their legal counsel, the plaintiffs are seeking relief in the form of restitution, injunctive relief and significant monetary damages, which remain unspecified at this time.

“All 1.2 million patients affected were subsequently notified two months after the initial breach.”

A Brilliant Career as a Champion for Justice

Hall

By Justin Smulison

EVEN AFTER ALL HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS1 , Steve Yerrid has no plans to leave the courtroom any time soon. “Why would I stop? I love what I do. I wanted to become a trial lawyer since I was a young boy. I am grateful to have outlived my wildest dreams… so now I just need to dream new ones. But I know for certain that helping others is the treasure of a life well-lived.”

“Just as important as winning or achieving a favorable result, and oftentimes even more so, is the joy of giving back and obtaining justice, despite the odds,” says Yerrid, who has been continuously included over the last five decades in Best Lawyers®. Additionally, he has been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers in Tampa for both Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (2014) and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs (2015) on behalf of plaintiffs on numerous occasions. “When our firm succeeds through client advocacy, we want others to benefit as well.”

“Lawyer of the Year” multiple times, Steve Yerrid discusses how results in the courtroom can provide tremendous opportunities to improve the lives of our fellow citizens and benefit society in making the world a better place by providing justice for those who need it most.

PHOTO BY TK TK

Headquartered in Tampa and serving clients throughout Florida, as well as other parts of the nation, the firm has secured billions of dollars in verdicts, settlements and judgments. This includes Yerrid’s more than 300 individual verdicts and settlements in excess of $1 million2 in catastrophic injury, product liability, construction defects, medical malpractice, premises liability, vehicle accidents, commercial disputes and a broad range of civil litigation.

Over the years, Yerrid has also been recognized on numerous occasions as one of Florida’s most well-known philanthropists. Since his early beginnings as a trial lawyer, Yerrid has believed that his monetary achievements at trial can transcend the courtroom and be utilized to reach deserving people and support those causes that truly make a positive difference in people’s lives.

As his successes mounted, and his results were routinely in seven figures, his ability to give back in significant ways formed the basis for the creation of The Yerrid Foundation. Self-funded, his family foundation has donated millions of dollars to more than 500 causes and charitable organizations locally, nationally and even internationally. The philanthropy has reached Africa, war-torn Lebanon, those suffering in Haiti, as well as catastrophic events in other parts of the world. Many of those charitable efforts are directed toward causes, such as pediatric cancer treatments, clinical trials and research, multiple sclerosis research, domestic abuse prevention, the Special Olympics, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Boys and Girls Club of America, UNICEF and a variety of .organizations that provide opportunities, food, clothing, shelter and essentials for the disadvantaged.

“I believe our impact in the courtroom has a ripple effect and it is my hope some of those ripples turn into tsunamis of beneficial change that help others. We have been extremely fortunate to succeed in our efforts to channel that winning momentum into brighter days for children and families facing unimaginable challenges,” said Yerrid.

Indeed, his partnerships with NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning has resulted in an annual Tampa Bay Fights Cancer Night to raise awareness for all those battling this dreaded disease. In the 23 years of this special event, the Foundation has treated more than 100,000 pediatric cancer patients, their families and caregivers to a night of hockey, food, special shirts and a post game “meet and greet” with the kids and the Lightning players. It makes for an unforgettable night for everyone involved.

“Whether it’s ‘Christmas in July’ in the cancer wards, fishing tournaments, fashion shows or virtually any of the many events we sponsor, we do our best to provide unwavering support, as well as motivation and a better life for those in need,” Yerrid says.

In one of many initiatives, Yerrid recently donated $100,000 to Metropolitan Ministries to create a “community model,” which has subsequently been utilized in other localities. Through The Yerrid Foundation, 5,000 nonperishable “We Care” food boxes were created to feed families in distress. Each box was personally distributed by Tampa police officers and sheriff’s deputies throughout the neighborhoods of those areas they patrol. “Law enforcement and community members getting to know each other helps to lessen tensions and create personal relationships as well as trust,” Yerrid notes.

“I’m incredibly proud of the depth and breadth of our reach, as we have sought to strengthen special bonds between police and residents through these types of programs,” Yerrid says. “The concept of ‘good will toward men and women’ should not be reserved just for the holidays. It should be a year-round attitude because, quite frankly, it’s a wonderful and satisfying feeling to help others who are less fortunate.”

A CAREER CHARACTERIZED BY OVERCOMING SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ODDS

The drive to give back stems from Yerrid’s own humble beginnings, and speaks to his unique ability to identify with underdogs and the need to shine a spotlight on true heroism.

cases and waged legal battles against some of the largest and most well-monied entities in the country, almost always with favorable results.

One of the most lasting achievements occurred in the 1990s, when Yerrid was selected 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. It also resulted in drastic advertising restrictions against the cigarette cartel and imposed severe prohibitions against pandering to America’s youth and, for the first time, truly exposed the horrific costs of cigarette addiction.

Currently, Yerrid and the firm represent the family of fallen Tampa Master Police Officer Jesse Madsen, who was killed while protecting his community on March 9, 2021. Madsen was offduty and driving home around 1 a.m. that morning when he received a call about a driver recklessly speeding the wrong way on Interstate 275.

This reputation among the legal profession started with an unbroken string of courtroom victories in the 1970’s including his participation in a 3 month Federal RICO trial. In 1980, as a very young lawyer, he received international recognition for his central role in one of the world’s largest maritime tragedies. Despite a virtually unanimous consensus that the trial could not be won, Yerrid utilized an “Act of God” defense to secure the complete exoneration of the accused Captain John Lerro. Lerro was 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 but unprotected anchor pier of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The impact collapsed more than 1200’ of its center span and tragically claimed 35 innocent lives.

As a result, a new Skyway bridge was constructed with a modern, state-of-the-art design that featured protective piers and elaborate fendering. This safer bridge design has since been utilized as a template for bridge construction all over the world.

Following that astounding accomplishment, Yerrid has continually litigated high-stakes

“Within one minute of the call, Officer Madsen intercepted the vehicle and selflessly and intentionally drove head-on into the wrong way driver, resulting in a fatal collision,” Yerrid says. “His actions epitomized heroism. Had the safety apparatuses and alarms functioned properly, the wrong-way driver could and should have been prevented from entering the Busch Boulevard exit ramp, and Officer Madsen would still be with his wife and children today,” he adds. We will strive to get justice for the Madsen family and just as importantly, heighten the measures to adequately protect our citizens from ‘wrong way’ drivers. We intend to do everything possible to prevent similar tragedies from occurring to others.”

In 2022, Yerrid and partner Jeff Murphy filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of widow Danyelle Madsen and her three young children against the Florida Department of Transportation and one of its private contractors for creating what he referred to as a “foreseeable zone of risk.”

Officer Madsen’s case has been particularly gut wrenching. This real-life hero sacrificed his life in order to save the life of the young motorist he pulled in front of in order to absorb the high speed head-on collision instead of her.

“A trial lawyer’s success can create societal change and truly make a much broader difference. Those changes can have special significance outside of a specific case,” Yerrid says. “If we can improve the lives of clients and improve the safety of our communities and neighbors through our advocacy, we can make a real contribution to creating a better world, not just for us, but for all the generations who follow. Every member of our firm is dedicated to establishing a safer and fairer landscape for all. To me, being able to give real truth to the phrase, ‘Equal Justice Under The Law’ is the epitome of success.”

“Yerrid has also been recognized on numerous occasions as one of Florida’s most well-known philanthropists.”

1 Voted into National Trial Lawyers Hall of Fame (2016), Voted into Florida Boxing Hall of Fame (2011) 2 Several of the verdicts were 8 and 9 figure results. Among those is a $216 Million medical negligence verdict, the largest in Florida’s History.

“ONES

TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS

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 more than 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
