Bernardo Roman III.
Former Miccosukee tribal attorney Bernardo Roman III and his law firm owe Lewis Tein and its name partners $562,264 in attorney fees for more than five years of frivolous litigation, a judge ruled.
The decision follows an evidentiary hearing on the amount owed and came despite objections from Roman and his Miami law firm, Roman P.A., according to a final judgment by Miami-Dade Circuit Judge John W. Thornton. It follows his Oct. 26 determination that Lewis Tein’s request for nearly $3.23 million in fees was reasonable after years of aggressive litigation.
