Am Law 200 firm attorneys said that the arrest of a plastic surgeon accused of murdering a Florida lawyer may demonstrate, as more evidence is discovered, the vulnerability of legal practitioners who are litigating contentious cases.

Brian H. Bieber, a shareholder at GrayRobinson in Miami, said in the arrest of the defendant, Tomasz Kosowski, a plastic surgeon, over his alleged murder of Steven Cozzi, that the circumstantial evidence at this stage appears overwhelming, despite no body being found. That includes authorities’ findings of masks, sedatives, a taser, brass knuckles and duct tape in Kosowski’s car.
