Whose Client Is This? 3 South Florida Lawyers Say They're Rightful Counsel in Long-Running Case
The appellate court's order upholds a trial court's conclusion that Manuel Mesa, rather than petitioners Albert Piantini and Andrew Kassier, is the rightful legal representative of Venezuela-based companies Publicidad Vepaco and LaTele Television. The two business entities have been locked in litigation with Venezuelan expatriates and Miami residents Nelson Mezerhane and Rogelio Trujillo for several years.

The Third District Court of Appeal has issued an order holding that Miami attorneys who said they represented two Venezuelan companies aren't in fact the counsel of record.
The appeals court Wednesday denied the petition for writ of certiorari filed by litigators Andrew Kassier and Albert Piantini, concerning the pair's work for Venezuelan companies Publicidad Vepaco and LaTele Television.
The attorneys appealed after a trial court found that Manuel Mesa, rather than Kassier and Piantini, was the companies' rightful counsel.
