The Florida Bar this year filed a complaint against Bernardo Roman III for allegedly making a false 911 call in an attempt to get his opposing counsel in a legal malpractice case locked up. Roman accused Paul Calli of Calli Law in Miami of deliberately shoving pistachios in the face of his assistant — who has a nut allergy — during a deposition.
According to the bar, Roman’s assistant was actually forced to leave the deposition to seek care for an allergic reaction after the nuts were left out in a conference room by a judge. More than an hour after she left, Roman called police claiming Calli had pushed the pistachios in his assistant’s face and placed them in her lunch.
