Listed below is a small sample of the firm’s cases. These summaries are provided for informational purposes only and not as any promise as to the outcome of your case.

The results of all cases handled by the firm are not provided and these cases are not necessarily representative of all results obtained by the firm or of the experience of all clients or others with the firm. Every case is different, and each client’s case must be evaluated and handled on its own merits.

United States v. Dr. Ali Shaygan (pill mill prosecution). One of the Firm’s signature cases, David Oscar Markus led the defense team to another first of its kind victory — not guilty verdicts across the board on 141 counts against a doctor charged in federal court with selling pain medications in a “pill mill” prosecution. After a month long trial, the jury acquitted on all counts in less than a half a day, and after they announced the verdict, the jury hugged the lawyers and client. (Here’s the Sun-Sentinel article and the Herald article). Markus was able to show that this was not a pill mill at all. In addition to the acquittal, Markus uncovered prosecutorial misconduct and the federal judge heard two days of testimony from prosecutors and agents, after which the court ordered the government to pay Dr. Shaygan and his lawyers over $600,000. The Eleventh Circuit reversed the fee award, with several dissenting opinions, which generated a great deal of press including this National Law Journal article. Since this case, the Firm is regularly consulted on cases involving doctors and pharmacists charged with cases involving pain medication such as oxycodone, oxycontin, hydrocodone, and so on. For example, the Firm recently represented the owner of Robert’s, a pharmacy chain in Florida, and currently represents a number of doctors. Both state authorities and the federal government have cast way too wide a net in the prosecution of doctors and pharmacists who are engaged in legitimate medical practice, and the Firm takes great pride in defending these cases. David recently spoke to other criminal defense lawyers on how to win pill-mill prosecutions in the Fall. Here’s a picture of Dr. Shaygan and David walking into court during trial:

State of Florida v. Gale Fontaine (gambling prosecution). In the first case of its kind to proceed to trial in the State of Florida, Mr. Markus obtained a not guilty verdict in the trial of a businesswoman, Gale Fontaine, who had been charged with running a gambling house. The State had charged Ms. Fontaine and a number of other operators of “senior arcades”, places where senior citizens could play machines for low stakes. The other operators cut deals, but Mr. Markus obtained the first not guilty verdict in this area after a trial that was vigorously prosecuted by the State of Florida and covered daily by the local media. Here is the article covering the verdict, which was on the front page of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. Since this case, Markus has been the go-to lawyer for advice on how to legally operate arcades in Florida. Below is the picture from the Sentinel which was prominently placed above the fold on the front page.

After obtaining this not guilty verdict, the Firm has handled a number of other high-profile and high-stakes cases alleging gambling, including the recent internet cafe charges involving over 50 defendants. David Markus and Margot Moss obtained a dismissal for their client and business owner, Mazen Salloum, before the trial in that matter.

Investigation of Dwight Howard (regarding alleged child abuse). Houston Rockets star center, Dwight Howard, was investigated for child abuse. David successfully convinced numerous law enforcement agencies NOT to pursue the case and no charges were ever filed. Here is the ESPN article covering the closing of the case.

United States v. Rebecca Gheiler (bank and mortgage fraud prosecution). In another first of its kind victory, a federal judge in Orlando threw out the case against a developer of real estate after the government rested its case. The defense focused on advice of counsel, arguing that Ms. Gheiler always acted with good intent because she relied on the advice of her lawyer as well as numerous others. The lawyer testified against Ms. Gheiler, but after a blistering cross-examination, the judge found that he was lying and threw out the case. The press covered the trial, which occurred right before Hurricane Irma (September 2017). Here is one article. And below is a picture of the celebration right outside of the courtroom immediately after the judge dismissed the case. The trial team was David Markus, Margot Moss, and Todd Yoder. This not guilty verdict was the third not guilty verdict of 2017 for the firm, an unheard of number of federal trials and acquittals.

United States v. Rodrigo Hidalgo (criminal antitrust case). In a total victory for our client, David Oscar Markus along with Mona Markus successfully obtained the dismissal of two indictments against the Vice President of an airline. The charges involved allegations of federal criminal antitrust laws violations by conspiring to fix fuel surcharge prices on air cargo shipments to and from the U.S. The team obtained a dismissal of the first indictment after demonstrating their client’s lack of participation in the conspiratorial meeting. With regard to the second indictment, the team filed a unique motion demonstrating that the VP was simultaneously an employee of another airline which meant that he was covered under the grant of immunity in that airline’s plea agreement. The DOJ fought hard against the motion, filing 9 pleadings in opposition and calling multiple witnesses to testify in support of their position. After a two day evidentiary hearing, the Magistrate Judge wrote a 49-page order granting the motion to dismiss, and the District Court affirmed.

The Hidalgo case was part of a string of pre-trial dismissals that the Firm recently has obtained. Other cases include United States v. Brian Cooper (CEO of large company charged in two cases discussed below), State v. Rene Pedrayes (executive in RICO case discussed below), United States v. Juan Gomez (money laundering case discussed below), United States v. Mazen Salloum (gambling case discussed above) and State v. Jeffrey Lipman (a pain medication case, which was dismissed pre-trial). Obtaining a not guilty verdict is rare. Obtaining a dismissal pre-trial is even rarer. The creative and aggressive approach of the Firm has led to these unique results .

United States v. Dr. Michael Bahrami (kickback conspiracy). After a three day trial, a federal jury unanimously found Dr. Michael Bahrami not guilty today in Federal Court before Judge Cecilia Altonaga. Dr. Bahrami was charged in a one count indictment with conspiracy to defraud the United States and to accept kickbacks and bribes in exchange for referring patients to home health agencies. The jury deliberated for less than an hour before finding him not guilty.

Dr. Bahrami fled Iran when he was 17 years old. He taught himself English working as a bus
