MR. RUBIN TESTIFIES AS DEFENSE EXPERT WITNESS IN LEGAL MALPRACTICE CASE

Several attorneys  were  sued  for legal malpractice in Federal Court. The Defendant attorneys had represented their former clients in a complex multi-million dollar  real estate development and financing transaction.  The former clients were seeking in excess of five million dollars in damages.  At trial in  November, 2019, Mr. Rubin  was qualified as an expert witness by the Court in Florida real estate and mortgage foreclosure law  and testified on behalf of the defense to explain the standard of care to the jury and why  the attorneys did not breach their duty of reasonable care.  The jury, after a two week trial,  found that the attorneys were not professionally negligent, returned a verdict in favor of the attorneys on all counts,  and awarded the former clients no damages.
