"Divided Jury Causes Mistrial in Malpractice Case Against Proskauer Rose
A mistrial has been declared in a heavily litigated malpractice case against Proskauer Rose after a six-week trial in Palm Beach Circuit Court.
The mistrial was declared late Friday after jurors were divided after three days of deliberation. A retrial is expected early next year, said Boca Raton attorney Steven Katzman of Katzman Wasserman Bennardini & Rubinstein, which represented plaintiff Boca Aviation.
"It's unfortunate we were only able to convince four out of the six jurors," Katzman said. "I have no reason to believe a settlement will happen because Proskauer has been unwilling to accept responsibility and make reasonable settlement proposals."
Proskauer issued a statement saying, "The attempt by Boca Aviation to transform its continued lack of success in court into a favorable press event is without basis."
Boca Aviation sued New York-based Proskauer Rose in 2006, alleging the company lost its right to develop 15 acres at the Boca Raton Airport due to negligence by its attorneys.
The allegations dated back to 1997 when the company hired Christopher Wheeler, former head of Proskauer's real estate department in Boca Raton.
Boca Aviation, represented by Katzman and Jack Scarola of Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley of West Palm Beach, was seeking $64 million in damages.
Miami attorney Mark Heise of Boies Schiller & Flexner was lead counsel for Proskauer Rose.""
