There’s good news for Fort Lauderdale attorney Chad P. Pugatch, who spent years fighting a damning ruling from a federal appellate court that found he “abused” the bankruptcy process.

Pugatch is a veteran litigator and shareholder at Rice Pugatch Robinson Storfer & Cohen. But he found himself the subject of a 2014 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which reversed a bankruptcy sale and determined the attorney knowingly provided false testimony in a deposition.
