This week, the Fourth DCA affirmed the jury verdict WSH obtained on behalf of the City of Boca Raton in a false arrest case. The Plaintiff, an attorney, claimed that the City’s police officers stormed his house and arrested him without provocation when the City responded to a 911 hangup call traced to the Plaintiff’s residence. After a 4 day trial in March 2010, the jury returned a full defense verdict in 15 minutes. The Plaintiff appealed, and the Fourth District affirmed without an opinion.
Congratulations go out to Matthew H. Mandel (who handled the trial) and to Laura K. Wendell (who handled the appeal)!
