Justice for all interested in “building business” prevailed at the Aventura Marketing Council’s recent Breakfast Meeting co-hosted by Association Law Group and Hotwire Communications. The event featured County Court judges from the North Dade Justice Center including Judge Myriam Lehr, Judge Betty Capote, Judge Jason Dimitris, Judge Carlos Guzman, Judge Charles Johnson and Judge Caryn Schwartz.

Former Chief Judge Joseph Farina, Circuit Court Judge Lisa Walsh of the Dade County Courthouse and County Court Judge Rudy Ruiz of the Miami Beach Courthouse. Circuit Court Judge Stan Blake was deemed “most entertaining emcee” for handing down insightful ”LOL” rulings.

Legal leader/AMC Chair Cliff Schulman of Weiss, Serota, Helfman welcomed guests gathered at the Newport Beachside Hotel along with Association Law Group senior partner Ben Solomon and Business Development Director, Aventura Vice Mayor Howard Weinberg, as well as Carl Lender, Vice President of Sales for Hotwire Communications and Steve Schmitz, Vice President/General Manager of Hotwire’s Fision Work, commercial division.

When the gavel was passed to the judges, they presented evidence benefiting the community. Judge Guzman, a Florida Bar Referee, spoke about disciplinary actions that can be taken against lawyers for violations against clients, the legal system or issues involving integrity such as DUI’s or fraud.

Judge Dimitris focused on communication, noting when litigants can achieve a “meeting of the minds” it can lead to more favorable settlements. Judge Lehr and Judge Farina, who now serves as a professional mediator, concurred that mediation is a very efficient, cost-effective way to resolve disputes.
