When a Miami-Dade jury awarded $5.4 million in damages to a Broward liquidation company Feb. 5, Fort Lauderdale defense attorney Sean P. Sheppard wasn’t there. He’d skipped the trial and two mediation sessions at the request of his client, Chad M. Freeman, who said he couldn’t afford to defend himself and his South Carolina company Freeman Hammond LLC.
To make matters worse, the judge ordered Freeman’s company to pay $4.1 million, for a final judgment of nearly $10 million.
