The September 5 Tiger Bay Club meeting was focused on the race for Sarasota County Tax Collector. It took an interesting turn when Barbara Ford-Coates was unable to attend and Morgan Bentley called an audience member into the debate. Read about it here:

Ford-Coates' sudden inability to attend is quickly remedied by her long-time employee's opportune presence

Huge win for David Wallace, Caroleen Brej, Cori Coser and the BGK team last week in a case involving dozens of lawyers from all over the state and issues regarding the power of the Florida Attorney General. This case involved national opioid claims and resulted from the Florida Attorney General’s assertion of a right to settle any case it chose in the state without the approval of the party involved. In this case, that party (BGK’s client) was Sarasota Memorial Hospital and a claim over $40,000,000. Two trial courts had agreed with the Attorney General, but the concept was rejected by the First District Court of Appeal with direction to enter judgment in our client’s favor. Well done team!
