Case Synopsis

$200 Million Automobile Dealership Transaction

The firm represented the seller of a large automobile dealer’s properties and ongoing business , totaling over $200 million dollars. Five separate properties, and six separate automobile franchises were involved.

Defense of Deceptive Trade Practices Allegations

The firm successfully secured a summary judgment in favor of a business wrongfully accused of deceptive and unfair trade practices in the marketing and sale of its products. After an intensive fact investigation, the firm proved that no such deception occurred and that a full and fair disclosure was made to buyers of its products. An appeal was taken, and the appellate court upheld the summary judgment in our client’s favor. In addition to getting the case dismissed, the firm secured an order requiring the plaintiff to pay over $200,000 in attorneys fees to our client.

Commercial Lease Dispute: Appellate Victory for Landlord

Attorney Kevin F. Richardson secured an appellate court decision, overturning a trial court’s judgment that allowed a commercial tenant to remain in possession of its used car sales business without paying rent, due to the landlord’s failure to install a fence around the lot. Mr. Richardson successfully argue that the tenant failed to follow Florida Statutes regarding notice of the intent to stop paying rent, and that the lack of a fence did not prevent the tenant from continuing to sell used cars.

$5.5 Million Settlement in Denied Commercial Insurance Coverage

Attorney Kevin F. Richardson successfully negotiated a $5.5 million settlement on behalf of a client who had been wrongfully denied liability coverage under a commercial automobile insurance policy stemming from a motor vehicle accident that occurred while our client was conducting his employer’s business.  After the company’s insurance company was formally put on notice of the accident, the insurance company denied that our client was entitled to any coverage for the accident, forcing our client to rely upon his personal automobile insurance policy, and then later his personal assets, as a result of being denied coverage from his then-employer’s insurance company.
