Florida Justice Association reposted this
This week I was at the Four Seasons Orlando for the Florida Justice Association’s #MastersofJustice Seminar. My boys, Immediate Past President Stephen Cain was joined by his partners A. Dax Bello, who chaired the Medical Malpractice Seminar, and Michael Levine, who delivered a very informative presentation on Navigating Florida’s Medical Malpractice Presuit Statute. Earlier in the week, our associate Andres Hidalgo joined the Foundation’s Leadership Academy for their first in-person retreat. Love being part of a firm that understands the importance of active participation in organizations like FJA. Such a great group of attorneys and paralegals who work together for the greater good of getting justice for clients and transforming their lives through zealous representation! #catastrophicpersonalinjury #triallawyers #paralegals #leadership #justice #continuinglegaleducation
