When Stephen P. Smith and Joel Adler of Marlow, Adler, Abrams, Newman & Lewis in Coral Gables teamed with Irene Porter of Hicks, Porter, Ebenfeld & Stein in Miami to defend a malicious prosecution lawsuit, their clients had already lost one trial.
Jurors had awarded a $4.6 million verdict to plaintiff William Rolland, who claimed security guard Jorge Acuna, his employer International Security Management Group Inc. and other defendants had falsely accused him of making a bomb threat at the New World Tower in downtown Miami.
