$2,100,000 verdict in Key West

Stuart Kemp, a Key West restaurant owner, was awarded $2.1 million for injuries he sustained on March 3, 2003 when the driver of a national ambulance company transporting a homeless person who was faking a heart attack ran a red light and struck Stuart Kemp on his moped. The employees of American Medical Response, the nation's largest ambulance company, admitted the violations of certain key practices which would have saved Mr. Kemp of lifetime injuries, resulting from nine crushed facial bones and three fractured vertebrae in his back.

The nine-day trial ended in a unanimous verdict by the jury after three hours of deliberation. Partners Ira Leesfield, Patricia Kennedy and others at the firm represented Mr. Kemp who can now obtain the medical treatment necessary to restore his back and face.

I have known Ira for several decades and without a doubt he represents the best of the profession- a never ending commitment to his clients and a perpetual desire for learning and sharing his expertise with his colleagues. Richard
★★★★★
I found, and still find, that Ira’s firm will evaluate the case fairly and provide the client with a reasonably expectation of the process involved and will avoid giving false hope where there is none. Also Ira’s firm consistently keeps in constant touch with the client as well as referring attorneys so each knows the progress of a case. Finally I can tell you that if I personally were injured, Ira Leesfield is the first person I would call. Michael Browning
