A Broward Circuit Court jury awarded an eight-figure verdict to the foreign wife of a marine engineer, who was exposed to and died from an asbestos-related disease.

Daniel Woodard, a partner at Phillips & Paolicelli in New York and New Jersey, and Rebecca Vinocur, a solo practitioner based in Coral Gables, represented Michael Donovan’s surviving wife, Roseann.
