A Florida trial court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on the threshold legal issue of disqualifying a nationwide law firm and one of its partners in its Miami office in multi-year insurance litigation.

Miami Dade Circuit Judge David C. Miller granted the plaintiff’s motion to disqualify Akerman and commercial litigator Valerie B. Greenberg in a case that shows the complexity of Florida’s no-fault law, and how multiple insurers are constantly facing off when policy beneficiaries have motor vehicle accidents.
