Harrell v. South Kendall Construction and Banner Supply Co.

This case was the first Chinese drywall class action that was certified as a class action in the United States. The case alleged that a group of homeowners in Southern Florida had defective and toxic Chinese drywall installed in their homes which rendered their homes uninhabitable.   The Court certified the homeowners as a class and the matter was settled for millions of dollars.

Arizmendi v. BankAtlantic

The firm is co-lead counsel in a class action alleging that BankAtlantic, formerly one of the largest regional banks in the state and now owned by BB&T, improperly manipulated and re-sequenced overdraft transactions to maximize its fees at the expense of its customers.

In Re-Checking Account Overdraft Litigation

The firm, along with co-counsel Trief & Olk and Cohn Lifland Pearlman Herrmann & Knopf LLP, filed one of the earliest complaints in this now multidistrict litigation pending against numerous banks, related to the banks’ reordering of debit card transactions to increase overdraft fees.     The firm participated in a number of the cases, including those against Wachovia (now Wells Fargo), Citizens Bank (settled), PNC Bank (settled) JP Morgan Chase (settled) and Citizens Financial Group (settled).

The firm has also achieved success in a variety of other litigation matters.   More recently, these include:

Investors v. George Timinsky and 405 S. Dixie Highway

The firm filed suit on behalf of a group of high profile South Florida investors, including notable names like former University of Miami Football Coach Dennis Erickson, former UM and NFL Quarterback Steve Walsh, WFOR-TV news anchor Eliott Rodriguez and Sun-Sentinel sports columnist Dave Hyde.   After a trial in the Miami Dade County Business Court, they were awarded a total of $6.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages and attorney’s fees against George “Rod” Timinsky, a self proclaimed developer who defrauded the investors then skipped town with their money. Mr. Timinsky was indicted for bank fraud in connection with this scheme in July 2013.
