A new lawsuit claims Bilzin Sumberg principal Hal J. Webb defrauded the widow of former partner Steven Lee Cantor, a prominent Miami tax attorney who died by suicide in 2016.

Before he moved to Bilzin, Webb was a partner in The Cantor Group, a former Miami-based law firm offering business law and estate and tax planning services to wealthy international clients. But his former partner, Cantor, jumped off their office tower at 2601 S. Bayshore Drive, according to court pleadings. The Cantor Group's law practice was later sold to Bilzin, where Webb now heads the Private Wealth Services Group, according to a web link redirecting users to the Bilzin website.

The lawsuit, filed late Monday in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, portrays Webb as a scheming attorney looking to take advantage of his partner's fragile mental state to avoid returning a $212,500 year-end draw the firm mistakenly paid him in 2015. He's also accused of cheating Cantor's widow, Sharon Dresser, out of a $2 million key man or business life insurance policy.
