He has litigated dozens of appeals before the Florida Supreme Court\, Florida’s district courts of appeal and the U.S. Courts of Appeals in a wide variety of matters\, including medical malpractice\, premises liability\, insurance liability\, First Amendment and constitutional litigation\, family law\, state and federal administrative rule-making and regulation\, home rule authority and preemption\, election law\, civil rights\, land use and zoning\, intellectual property and labor and employment issues. \nEd’s clients span a diverse range of industries\, from a national supermarket chain to local governments. He works with each client to develop cost-effective litigation strategies that clarify and shape the law\, ultimately advancing their broader business goals. \nEd represented more than 40 city and county governments in defending a $200 million federal class action lawsuit involving red-light camera programs  across Florida. His successful strategy in numerous state court proceedings\, which culminated in a unanimous Florida Supreme Court decision upholding the legality of the programs\, led to a decisive dismissal of the class action. In another appellate victory\, Ed represented the manufacturer of the breath-alcohol testing instrument used in Florida in a legal battle over the company’s source code. Ed’s strategic approach to trial court and appellate proceedings led to a change in existing case law in Florida and establishing new precedent\, when the Florida Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in his client’s favor. In another precedent-setting decision from the Florida Supreme Court\, Ed represented a national insurance carrier in establishing the carrier’s right through subrogation to pursue a malpractice claim against its insured’s retained counsel. \nEd is regularly quoted in the media on his high-profile cases.
