Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal has declined to grant a petition for writ of certiorari to a Boca Raton law firm disqualified from representing a client in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.

The appellate court’s order did not alleviate the situation faced by lawyers with the Shapiro, Blasi, Wasserman & Hermann firm, who were removed from representing defendant Terry Maley and his employer, New Jersey-based fire safety company Kidde Fire Trainers Inc., in a products liability suit.
