Miller from it cases after one of its attorneys filed to run against him in the November general election.<br /><br />The move has prompted claims the firm is using its deep pockets to strategically throw a sitting judge off its litigation by pitting one of its lawyers against him in the political arena. It also caused an uproar among plaintiff lawyers, who say they’d have to start over before new judges in dozens of cases if Cole Scott succeeds.<br /><br />The firm filed 33 motions to disqualify Miller and five sua sponte recusal requests, which ask the judge to remove himself without a motion.<br /><br />Cole Scott partner Elisabeth M. Espinosa filed on April 5 to challenge Miller for his seat in Division 8.<br /><br />Now, questions are swirling about why Espinosa chose to run against a judge handling dozens of the firm’s cases.<br /><br />“We’re the largest insurance defense firm in the state of Florida, so to have 30 cases in front of any judge is not surprising. That would be rather standard,” law firm managing partner Richard Cole said Friday. “I have no way to control where Ms. Espinosa runs for judge. … That’s her decision.”<br /><br />The firm’s website listed Espinosa an associate earlier this month, but it now describes her as a partner. Cole said Espinosa became a nonequity partner “recently,” but “not this week,” and declined to elaborate.<br /><br />Critics say Cole Scott & Kissane promoted Espinosa to bolster its bid for Miller’s removal by arguing that a firm with a partner—not an associate— running against a judge would likely be a victim of unfair rulings.<br /><br />“This has much broader implications. The motions for recusal have very little to do with the actions of Judge Miller,” said plaintiffs lawyer Victor M. Diaz Jr. “It’s scary. It’s an attack on the independence of the judiciary, and an attempt to intimidate state court judges that are subject to election or reelection. It should be offensive to every member of the bar, of concern to all lawyers and every sitting circuit court judge.”<br /><br />Cap Out .....<br />CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-34802932605133271562018-04-20T14:43:46.856-04:002018-04-20T14:43:46.856-04:00Get Black off the icon.PLEASEGet Black off the icon.PLEASEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-54951589841738289892018-04-20T14:12:21.492-04:002018-04-20T14:12:21.492-04:00Judge Miller was chosen to run against by a Hispan...Judge Miller was chosen to run against by a Hispanic woman with a disrespected insurance defense firm only because of his Anglo name. . David was a good trial lawyer before he became a judge and is well respected as a judge. He works very hard and has held hearings at 7;00 Am if necessary and its very easy to get on his calendar on short notice. Even though he ruled against me on a summary judgment he wished us well on appeal. And when we got it reversed he congratulated us and in fact approved higher attorney fees because of the complexity of the case. He is heads and shoulders above this 10 year insurance attorney. We should condemn when a Latin runs against an Anglo or a black thinking the demographics of dade county will just vote based upon the last name.

No one has ever whispered he was impaired during trial or suspected of consuming alcohol during lunch or having self medicated before a trial. More productive for the detractors to dedicate their energy on something beneficial to society and focus on the unqualified judges. We have judges who do not deserve to be on the bench. We have judge do not work, have no judicial sense and even some who are emotionally impaired. The whispers about some judge are so deafening loud. The whispers cause the administration to shelve the judge in place to protect them and keep their failings out of site. Judges are regularly forced to rotate. So why have certain judges never rotated out of criminal, never gone to civil and are shielded in a can do no wrong even if you try division. If judge are forced to rotate why have particular judges stayed in a defendants are guilty over and over division forever. Is it something the public should know. So to the Miller detractors I say put your nose to the ground and pick a more worthwhile candidate for your fodder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-42312027074530338442018-04-20T09:33:04.068-04:002018-04-20T09:33:04.068-04:00We should all be fighting the CRC issue.

Otherwise, the defendant will be required to respond to two different parties whose interests may be different, or who may coordinate their strategy to increase their chances of conviction and a harsh sentence. I can understand a civil party being faced with two opponents. But where a defendant is fighting for his liberty or life, he shouldn't be confronted by two adversaries.<br /><br />Would the defendant have to file responses to both parties? will there be three podiums and three counsel tables in the courtroom? Will the victim be able to participate in voir dire? Do both parties get to cross-examine defense witnesses and depose defense witnesses? Does the victim have a Brady obligation? A job to seek justice rather than convictions? Can the victim conduct its own forensic testing of physical evidence? What if the defendant is alleged to have been reckless when his car hit a bus? Do all the passengers get their own victims' counsel? <br /><br />There is already constitutional and statutory protection for the rights of victims in criminal cases.
