In asking jurors to return a $50 million verdict, a South Florida rainmaker left a Miami state courtroom in silence during closing arguments when he called a defendant a “bold-faced liar.”  Still, attorneys for Fowler White obtained a complete defense verdict after seven years of litigation and over 150 depositions.

Bruno Renda and Allan R. Kelley, shareholders at Fowler White who represented the defendants, BOS Transport LLC and its commercial driver Orestes Zamora Fleites, did not expect Alan Goldfarb, a plaintiffs’ attorney, including for Nouse Lacroix, to accuse BOS of failing to monitor its driver’s cell phone usage despite its compliance with the relevant federal statute.
