$15,048,526.25 Verdict on May 15, 2024 for our client, JOHN PAUL BEGLEY, as PR of the estate of Brandon Kyle Begley, deceased. After 4 years of extensive litigation, William M. Chapman, Esq. engaged in an 8 day trial in Orange County, Florida culminating in the $15 million+ verdict. The case was based on Brandon Begley’s (22 yrs old) attendance and participation at an Ayahuasca retreat wherein Soul Quest Church failed to call for medical help for several hours as Brandon Begley suffered from severe hyponatremia (low blood sodium) resulting in seizures, cerebral edema and death. Soul Quest Church was knowingly operating illegally and without any competent medical staff. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Begley family, as this litigation, trial and verdict was their only resource to pursue justice for their son.
