Contreras v. T.G. Lee Foods

Case No.: 6:93-cv-00422-ACC

Don Horn on behalf of the Plaintiff.

Tele.: (305) 547-0564

Judge Louis Bechtle

Date Tried: May 20, 1997

After a 2 week trial, the jury found against Mr. Contreras on most of his counts alleging a racial hostile work environment. The jury did find however that he was denied an opportunity to be promoted within the company. The jury awarded Mr. Contreras nominal damages but after setoffs a judgment was entered in favor of T.G. Lee Foods.

The case was significant because the amount in controversy as well as the frequent media exposure it received in the Orlando Sentinel.

Brown v. Willow Key

Case No. : 2003-CA-002942-0

Dennis O'Connor on behalf of the Defendant, Willow Key Apartments.

Tele.: (407) 843-2100

I represented a young couple who lost their 18 month old child. The child drowned in a retention pond near their apartment.

The case ultimately settled thus avoiding a very painful trial for the parents.

Malone Memorial Church of God In Christ, Inc. v. Church of God in Christ, Inc.

Case No.: 1999-CC-005355-0

11 Rev. 100209-0GC

Samuel L. Green on behalf of the Defendant. General Counsel for Church of God in Christ, Inc. Tele.: (757) 245-7200

Judge Belvin Perry

Date Tried: February 11 , 2004

I represented a local church and Pastor in litigation arising out of the National Church's attempt to remove the Pastor from his church. The National Church argued that pursuant to its By-Laws, they had the sole right to determine if the Pastor could be removed from office. I argued that only the local congregation had the right to determine whether the Pastor could be removed.

After a 2 day non-jury trial, Judge Belvin Perry ruled that the National Church had no right to remove the Pastor and restored him to the pulpit.

As a member of the Church the case was important to me personally because I wanted the Pastor to remain as the leader of the Church. Furthermore, this was my first case litigating Church By-Laws which exposed me to an entirely new area of the law pertaining to the Court's role in litigating purely church or religious matters.

Thiruchelvam v. Metcare of Florida

Case No.: 6:00-cv-O 1542-GAP

Tom Roebig on behalf of the Plaintiffs.

Tele.: (727) 786-5000

I represented MetCare of Florida in a race discrimination lawsuit brought in Federal Court by doctors who were fired by the Company. The doctors alleged that MetCare wrongfully terminated their employment contracts because of their race. The case was followed by the Orlando Sentinel.

After several months of litigation the case settled at mediation. The case was significant to me because the comparisons I was able to make to the T.G. Lee matter in litigating charges of race discrimination levied against a client.

Long v. State Famn Mutual Insurance Company

Case No.: 1998-CA-001227-0

Don McKeever on behalf of the Plaintiff

Tele.: (407) 628-4878

12 Rev. l 00209-0GC

I represented State Farm Mutual Insurance Company in an automobile negligence suit brought by its named insured, Brenda Long. Ms. Long sought uninsured motorist benefits arising out of an automobile accident. After a 4 day trial the jury returned a verdict in favor of State Farm.

The case was significant for my practice. After the verdict, State Farm began to use me extensively for their litigation in Central Florida.

Explorer Insurance Company v. Renold Cajusma

Case No.: 2009-CA-031894-0

Donald Masten on behalf of the Plaintiff

Tele.: (407) 455-5135

I represent the named insured in a lawsuit brought against him by his own insurance company. The company alleged that Mr. Cajusma was not entitled to insurance coverage because he made material misrpresentations regarding his automobile accident. After 3 years of litigation the company voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit.

The case is significant because I represented Mr. Cajusma even though there was no guarantee of payment. During the litigation he lost his wife to brain cancer, leaving him to care for their 2 minor children. I was able to convince the insurance company to dismiss the lawsuit as well as provide Mr. Cajusma with insurance coverage for his automobile accident.
