Morgan & Morgan announced this week that Florida State Sen. Gary Farmer, a consumer plaintiffs lawyer whose prior law firm dissolved last year, is joining the 400-lawyer plaintiffs firm.

Farmer, based in Fort Lauderdale, was previously a name partner at the much-smaller litigation firm Farmer, Jaffe, Weissing, Edwards, Fistos & Lehrman, which ceased operations in October 2017 after Steven Jaffe, another one of the founding partners, joined statewide mediation group Upchurch, Watson, White & Max Mediation Group.
