A state appellate court had strong words for attorneys at the Schlesinger Law Offices in Fort Lauderdale who “pushed the envelope at every turn” and flirted with the full reversal of a $75.4 million jury award in a tobacco case.

The Fourth District Court of Appeal didn’t specify which attorney overstepped the bounds in the case involving more than a dozen lawyers on both sides, including Scott Schlesinger, Jonathan Gdanski and Steven Hammer for the plaintiff.
