A Miami litigator is moving for 7 figures in lawyer costs after a tactical application of voir dire caused a Florida jury returning an almost $3 million decision versus a subsidiary of an openly traded Fortune 500 business.
Devin “Velvel” Freedman, a partner at Freedman Normand Friedland, effectively challenged for his customer, OJ Commerce LLC, 5 jurors for cause while avoiding counsel for the accused, Kühne + Nagel Inc., from utilizing a preemptory obstacle to strike a juror presumably based upon ethnic culture and religious beliefs.
