Proceeds from one of the largest attorney fee awards in South Florida history — $123 million — have been deposited in the bank accounts of South Florida law firms Podhurst Orseck, The Alters Law Firm and Grossman Roth.

The fee award, made two weeks ago, was for a $410 million class action settlement the plaintiff lawyers achieved against Bank of America. They named as defendants the bank and, ultimately, 29 other institutions, alleging they rigged consumer bank accounts in order to achieve excessive overdrafts.
