he trial lawyers of Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, P.A. (GRYC) have recovered more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients in need of strong advocacy for matters involving medical and legal malpractice, catastrophic injury, product liability, and wrongful death. The firm has also successfully represented individual clients in mass torts and class actions. In 2020, the firm continued to build upon its 32year legacy of excellence through its achievements in and out of the courtroom, by representing plaintiffs in some of the most recognizable cases in Florida and the United States. For example, co-founder Stuart Z. Grossman leads a GRYC team representing claimants in wrongful death and personal injury suits against Miami’s

Florida International University (FIU) as a result of the horrific pedestrian bridge collapse in 2018. That tragedy caused the loss of six lives, permanent disability for one, and multiple injuries in others. “It was a shocking event on several levels, starting with the loss of life and injury,” Grossman said. “The engineers who built it were trying to make history, which made it risky from the start. It was a ceremonial structure that should have never been approved by anyone involved—from industry experts to the State of Florida. We are negotiating some of the settlements and have one case that may go to trial.” The firm is also at the forefront of a diverse range of liability matters. GRYC has brought two separate high-profile class-action auto cases

against General Motors and Ford Motor Company for dangerous and faulty performance issues their on high-end cars. And GRYC further stands out from its peers for deep experience and knowledge in emerging areas of injury litigation. Name partner Andrew B. Yaffa is recognized as a trailblazer in stem-cell matters, representing patients who have been injured while in treatment. In the past year, the legal community publicly acknowledged the impact of the firm’s leadership on the injury and malpractice landscapes. In its 2021 Edition, South Florida’s Best Lawyers named Yaffa as Lawyer of the Year in Miami for Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs for the third time. Name partner Gary Cohen received the honor for

Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs for the third time in Fort Lauderdale and was previously honored once in Miami, as well. Grossman is also consistently named among the area’s leading trial lawyers. The Daily Business Review named him a 2020 Distinguished Leaders honoree. He has also received two major awards from the Florida Justice Association: the Al J. Cone Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019 for exemplifying a career of leadership, devotion and courage; and in 2014, he received the Perry Nichols Award, its most prestigious honor, recognizing that “perseverance, commitment, and unmatched dedication to the civil justice system is at the forefront of [his life].” GRYC is equally proud of its philanthropic work

with local organizations, which strengthened the morale of South Florida neighborhoods during lockdown periods caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, GRYC contributed $25,000 to Feeding South Florida, a nonprofit food bank helping those in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. GRYC’s donation generated an estimated 175,000 meals. Further, GRYC has also donated meals to more than 30 fire stations, police departments, and ER departments throughout the region, and 2,000 face masks to Baptist Health and Cleveland Clinic Florida hospitals for their frontline workers. “We have always proudly given back to our local communities and essential workers in the aftermath of a disaster or tragedy,” Grossman said. “This

was the time to show our gratitude for everyone working around the clock to keep us all safe.” Grossman added that the firm quickly adapted to the disruption caused by the pandemic. “We seamlessly transitioned to virtual and remote capabilities and even promoted new partners in an effort to better serve our clients,” he said. Grossman also notes, “We have always been a generational firm and we feel positive about the firm’s future. Our newest partners are outstanding and knowledgeable lawyers who have been with us for years and truly care for their clients. We are confident they will uphold our tradition of excellence.” Those new partners are Rachel Furst, Eric Halsey, Alex Arteaga- Gomez, and William Mulligan. BY JUSTIN SMULISON

LEGISLATION UNDER FIRE The legal battle for gun regulation in Florida moves forward.

ISTOCK.COM/KAMELEON007 ISTOCK.COM/NIKADA

By Janice Zhou

PAID ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

2018, the Florida legislature and then- Governor Rick Scott approved a state law that raised the minimum age to purchase rifles and other long guns, including shotguns, from 16 to 21. The new law followed the mass shooting that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Feb. 14, 2018. The National Rifle Associate (NRA) challenged this law soon after it was passed, arguing that the age restriction is a violation of the Second Amendment. The case proceeded to move slowly, and on Jan. 21, 2020, lawyers for Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a motion for the Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker to dismiss this case. Walker, however, denied that request. He then clarified that he was ruling that the case should be allowed to move forward and that he was not ruling on the NRA’s challenge.

“The law will likely be upheld. The Second Amendment does not prohibit states from reasonably regulating the purchase of firearms.” Legal teams for both the NRA and Moody filed a joint motion asking Walker to allow them to bypass mediation due to the fact that the two sides’ positions “are not reconcilable and no middle ground exists between them,” according to the joint motion. The case is scheduled to go to trial in January. We talked to two Best Lawyers-recognized attorneys, one a sitting member of the State House, representing Northeast Miami-Dade and Southeast Broward.

absolute, just as freedom of speech does not include the right to shout “fire” in a crowded theater. In a sense, your rights may end where my rights begin, although most human wants and desires do not rise to the level of constitutional rights. A state appeals court also is expected to weigh a challenge by cities and counties to a 2011 state law that threatens stiff penalties–including fines and potential removal from office–if local elected officials approve gun regulations. What is your opinion on this? I strongly oppose the 2011 law, passed before I got to the Legislature, that forbids local gun regulations and imposes penalties on local officials who support such regulations. While there are occasions where uniformity of regulation is necessary, such as ride-share legislation, I think there is a role for differing local regulations on issues relating to guns, based on factors such as the urban or rural nature of communities. A Leon County circuit judge found the law unconstitutional, spurring lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody to go to the Tallahassee-based 1st District Court of Appeal. What do you think will happen? Although I would like to see the law overturned and the circuit judge’s decision upheld, it is not clear whether that will happen. The First District Court of Appeal is difficult to predict. It would have been better if the Governor and Attorney General had accepted the lower-court decision and chosen not to appeal it. What is the future of gun legislation? We cannot continue to suffer the carnage of firearm violence without abatement. Too many innocent people, especially our children, are being victimized. We must continue to build on the foundation of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Dougla law to take further steps, like closing the gun-show loophole and banning assault weapons (which was already law in America for 10 years), in order to protect society from itself.

Partner at Greenspoon Marder, LLP Florida State Representative, District 100

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE / REGULATORY LAW SINCE THE 27TH EDITION

What is your opinion on the 2018 state law that raised from 18 to 21 the minimum age to purchase rifles and long guns in Florida? As a member of the Legislature, I voted in favor of the bill in 2018. I think we have the right to pass reasonable regulations relating to guns. For example, fully automatic weapons, like machine guns, cannot be privately owned (in most circumstances) or carried, and the same goes for howitzers. The 2018 law, while not perfect (the provision about arming school personnel was especially odious), had other good provisions, especially “red flag” protections. What were the effects of this state law in general? The 2018 law helped to better fund mental-health outreach, protect people through “red flag” injunctions, ban bump stocks, and otherwise provide some rationality to firearm legislation, along with the provision raising the age to buy long guns. It was a good first step, but much more needs to be done, like closing the gun-show loophole. How do you think this upcoming trial will play out? I think the law will be upheld. It was a reasonable effort to pass modest reforms with strong bipartisan support. Those of my Democratic colleagues who did not support the bill did so because they thought it was not strong enough. Although I agreed, I did not want us again to do nothing. We have certain rights as a society to protect ourselves, and individual rights must be balanced against that. What is the potential impact of this trial? I think the trial will demonstrate that individual rights are not always

Douglas M. Halsey Douglas M. Halsey, P.A.

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE / REGULATORY LAW SINCE THE 25TH EDITION

How has this state law impacted Florida? Since the law was passed, it is somewhat more difficult for an individual under 21 to have a firearm. It is possible that there may be some reduction in firearm crimes committed by individuals under age 21. What do you predict will happen to the 2018 state law in the upcoming trial? The law will likely be upheld. The Second Amendment does not prohibit states from reasonably regulating the purchase of firearms. What actions do you think the NRA will take following the trial? At some point, the NRA may stop challenging state laws that reasonably regulate but do not prohibit ownership of firearms. What is your take on the appeal by lawyers for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody? The issue on appeal does not have Second Amendment implications. Instead, it is purely a question of the state’s authority to preempt local government on a subject on which a local government would ordinarily have considerable discretion and then make those local governments criminally liable if they don’t acquiesce to the state government’s overreach.

Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs Miami, FL

e rely on medical personnel in our most vulnerable moments, turning to them during sickness or injury. But what happens when something goes wrong? When those you trusted to help you or your loved one have failed you? The 2021 “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs in Miami, Andrew Yaffa, knows what to do in those next steps. Yaffa, a partner at Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, focuses his work on personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, and medical malpractice litigation. Along with many high-tension cases Yaffa has worked on, he also provided pro bono legal representation for families of victims of the September 11 attacks through Trial Lawyers Care, the largest pro bono legal services program in history. But Yaffa is most proud of his work in one area in particular. “I am most proud of the work we have recently done in the stem cell world,” he said. “We have handled a number of cases that highlight the exploitation that is taking place in this arena, taking advantage of those most in need, the most vulnerable.” One of his most memorable cases involved a young boy named Carlito

Candelario-Herrera who was born without arms or legs due to his mother being sprayed with pesticides while she was working in tomato fields. In Francisca Herrera and Abraham Candelario v. Ag-Mart Produce Inc., the sub-par working conditions of AgMart were exposed along with many other violations. As a result of this case, Ag-Mart implemented new policies that would protect their employees and make sure they were safe. With cases like these, it is no surprise Yaffa finds his field of law rewarding. “Being able to help those who have been harmed and hopefully preventing others from being affected in the same way [is the most rewarding part of medical malpractice law],” he said. But on the other hand, with cases that have so much riding on them, it can have its difficulties. “[The most challenging part is] not being able to replace that which has been lost,” Yaffa said. “It is always a life or a loved one, and we can’t turn back the clock.” Being a leader in his field, Yaffa says there are three things that make a great attorney, “Stick with a proven routine, always prepare, and find something you are passionate about,” he said.

t udent-at h letes t ra i n to be warriors on the field. But tragedies and injuries can occur on those same fields due to negligence. As a result, victims and families sometimes need a warrior in the courtroom. Steve Yerrid, founder of The Yerrid Law Firm, P.A. has repeatedly proven to be that warrior. For decades, he and his firm have effectuated improved safety protocols and procedures in a number of areas and many are still making a difference. Yerrid’s 40-year career has been highlighted by record-setting verdicts and successful resolutions in countless cases involving catastrophic injury a nd deat h, med ica l ma lpractice, product liability, maritime disasters, and on occasion, commercial litigation. Most recently, much of his work has been in the area of student-athlete safety and has demonstrated the same results; Yerrid’s advocacy has greatly influenced safety guidelines and set

precedents for high school and college athletic programs in Florida, as well as nationally. IMMEDIATE LOCAL IMPACT Two of the latest most impactful sports safety results occurred in Hillsborough County, practica lly within walking distance of the Yerrid Law Firm’s office. Hezekiah Walters was a Middleton High School freshman in 2019 who wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps by playing football. The youngest player on the field, a 14-year-old, was pa r ticipati ng i n t he second day of “conditioning drills” when he collapsed and died due to heatrelated overexertion. His heartbroken parents contacted The Yerrid Law Firm for justice. “There were no medical professionals or trainers on-site while ‘Heze’ was suffering with a more than 102-degree body temperat u re,” Yer r id says.

“The conditions of that day were u nacceptable a nd h is deat h was unnecessary. Fortunately, the school district took responsibility shortly afterward. Additionally, and because we have a recognized track record in this area of law, there was a mutual decision to come together rather than become adversaries. Everyone involved was motivated to do the right thing in protecting our young student athletes.” The Hillsborough County School Boa rd col laborated w it h Yer r id, the Walters family, and nationally recognized experts in student athlete safety. Significant steps were taken to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. The board passed a measure requiring the hiring of a fulltime athletic trainer to attend every public-school practice, conditioning drill, scrimmage, or official game. Extensive safety protocols (named in honor of Heze Walters) were also instituted, such as regular hydration

a nd sa fet y brea k s, a long w it h a requirement that all coaches attend every practice and game. The Walters tragedy occurred less than five years after Yerrid represented Wharton High School football player Sean McNamee. McNamee suffered a severe head injury during an October 2013 warm-up that later put the varsity star in a nine-day coma. Following two brain surgeries—which ultimately required a titanium plate to be permanently placed in his skull—McNamee survived, but needed significant cognitive and physical therapy. Yerrid’s representation ensu red McNa mee’s futu re wou ld also be financially secure when he subsequently obtained more than $2 million in settlement money as well.

has been named “Lawyer of the Year” in Tampa by The Best Lawyers in America© several times for the quality of his representation of plaintiffs in both medical malpractice and personal injury matters. Those accomplishments are just a few reasons he has been contacted by families whose members have died of complications related to Sickle Cell Trait while playing college football. SCT are inherited red blood cell traits that are sometimes present at birth. Though carrying the trait does not mean a sickling event will necessarily occur, it does require special accommodations for SCT athletes. Ereck Plancher was 19 years old and an outstanding student, as well

“Florida rightfully takes pride in its local football teams, but the top priority must be ensuring the safety of every student-athlete entrusted to its care.” Yerrid also convinced the board to agree to provide and maintain an additional $1 million in general liability coverage above the very limited cap of $300,000 in total damages allowed under Florida’s Sovereign Immunity Law that “protects” public entities. New safety guidelines concerning potential head injuries, labeled as the “McNamee Protocol,” and modeled after NFL and NCAA concussion guidelines, were instituted throughout the public schools. “Florida rightfully takes pride in its local football teams, but the top priority must be ensuring the safety of every student athlete entrusted to its care,” Yerrid says. “We are currently communicating with Florida’s other 66 counties and making efforts to encourage all of their school boards to obtain $1 million in insurance coverage above the statutory cap. We also advocate for using McNamee Protocols, as well as the Walters Protocols, as models to reduce the risks of head injuries, heat strokes, and adverse cardiac events.” NATIONAL AND COLLEGIATE CHANGE Over several decades, Yerrid and his firm have established a national reputation for fearless advocacy. He

as a talented wide receiver, when he participated in an off-season football conditioning drill in March 2008 for the University of Central Florida (UCF). The exercise was so harsh and lacking in proper hydration or rest breaks that it caused Plancher’s body to activate his sickling trait. As his red blood cells turned into sickle shapes, their ability to carry oxygen was lost. Ereck collapsed several times as his organs shut down, and he struggled mightily before finally dying. His autopsy revealed he carried the Sickle Cell Trait, and his UCF medical records showed he carried it in 2008. Ironically, Plancher’s SCT had been diagnosed by UCF’s own medical staff and was known by UCF’s coaches and trainers even before he joined the team. His parents’ legal team hired Yerrid to take the case to trial. Rather t ha n accept responsibi l it y, UCF’s decision to fight the case every step of the way led to years of litigation and ultimately, after three weeks of trial, a jury verdict of $10 million was rendered. That verdict was later reduced by the appellate courts and the case ultimately settled after it was argued in the Florida Supreme Court and before Ereck’s father passed on. Ted Agu was 21 years old when

he played football for University of California, Berkeley (UC). The defensive lineman also carried SCT trait, which UC had discovered two years earlier during his annual medical examination. Nevertheless, in 2014 he needlessly died following an unacceptably harsh team “drill” in which no precautions or accommodations were made for his known SCT condition. Yerrid and Brian Panish, an outstanding L.A. trial lawyer and good friend, filed a wrongful death suit on behalf of Agu’s parents.The lawsuit charged that the steller pre-med student should not have been subjected to such extreme exertion and that the negligence by UC officials caused his easily preventable death. Shortly after litigation commenced, UC decided to ta ke responsibility rather than litigate against the Agu family. As a result, UC paid $4.75 million in settlement to the parents and immediately effectuated widespread changes in their statewide student athlete protocols and procedures for SCT athletes. True to Yerrid’s mission, he was able to cause needed change. No sickling deaths have occurred at UC since. “This result led to critical reforms at all of UC’s 11 campuses, starting with education about athletes that carry sickle cell trait,” Yerrid notes. “Punishments like extra high-risk physical activities cannot be used, and workout and conditioning plans are now thoroughly reviewed and customized. Ted Agu, Ereck Plancher, and several other remarkable youths who lost their lives are forever honored and memorialized with these lifesaving steps.” With experience representing injured and vulnerable players, Yerrid keeps a close watch on the precautions athletic associations at all levels are taking with regard to COVID-19. “Many of us love sports and football, but no game is worth a young person’s life,” Yerrid says. “As we’ve seen, the COVID-19 virus is highly contagious and dangerous. The ideology of our firm’s work with SCT should be applied to COVID-19 and the institution of safe practices. In the best interests of everyone, proper protocols must be in place well before tragedy strikes. And if those precautions are not taken by corporate or public entities, we will be there to right those wrongs.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

INNAUGURAL AWARDS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded almost 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers.

D. David Keller

Raymond L. Robin

Recognized by Best Lawyers for Legal Malpractice Law - Defendants - since 2008

Recognized by Best Lawyers for Commercial Litigation - 2021

avid Keller is passionate about defending the reputations of lawyers. He is frequently engaged to represent some of the largest firms in the country and often defends “bet-the-law-firm” cases. Most recently he tried five significant cases within seven months, four of which he took over from other counsel after years of litigation—he prevailed in four, and settled a fifth one favorably for his client after 6 days of trial. In the five trials, claimants were seeking in excess of $37 million, plus substantial punitive damages against a major law firm in one of the trials. Keller’s clients will recover substantial fees and costs in three of the four in which he prevailed. He won two jury verdicts, and prevailed on a directed verdict after taking over the defense of one case less than a month before trial (recently affirmed on appeal). In one of the cases, after five days of trial, he successfully obtained a dismissal of claims, and complete relief on a counterclaim, with the court reserving jurisdiction to award fees, costs, and sanctions after exposing the case as a fraud on the court. But relatively few cases end up in trial, and Keller is equally effective in winning dispositive motions, handling arbitrations and mediations, and evaluating and resolving cases quickly and quietly when appropriate, often without formal mediation or arbitration. Keller also represents lawyers in Florida Bar Grievance proceedings. An instrument rated pilot, Keller handles significant cases throughout Florida, having handled matters in at least ten of Florida’s twenty circuits, as well as in all three of Florida’s U.S. District Courts.

aymond Robin has been practicing law in Florida for over thirty years. During that time he has developed a reputation as a lawyer with an uncanny ability to find the right legal theories to enable his clients to prevail in his cases. Whether it’s the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, Hadley vs. Baxendale, the Rule Against Stacking Inferences or some other obscure legal theory or doctrine, he is often able to use it along with his exceptional and persuasive writing skills to obtain early, successful resolutions for his clients. In the past few years he has obtained favorable results for his clients in three jury trials, numerous summary judgments, and most recently, Final Summary Judgment in favor of his client, a major national law firm, in a multi-million dollar class action suit.
