FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RENOWNED SOUTH FLORIDA ATTORNEY ROY OPPENHEIM
OPENS TAMPA BAY AREA OFFICE
Oppenheim best
known for winning high-profile class-action lawsuits
TAMPA,
FL - The law firm of Oppenheim Pilelsky, one of South Florida's
most successful boutique law firms, has announced the opening
of its first satellite office, in Tampa.
The office, at 100 N. Tampa Street, Suite 3760, will handle consumer
class action, as well as catastrophic personal injury and medical
malpractice cases. Oppenheim Pilelsky.
Roy D. Oppenheim, who founded the law firm more than a decade
ago in Weston, Florida, is best known in the Tampa area for a
lawsuit he successfully settled for $600,000 on behalf of a Brandon
boy who died as a result of a misdiagnosis of bacterial meningitis
at MacDill Air Force Base's medical clinic.
Oppenheim has had his share of high profile cases, especially
class action. He was one of the first attorneys in Florida and
nationwide to sue Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc. for putting defective
tires on Ford Explorers. Oppenheim forced Firestone to allow consumers
to replace their defective tires immediately with tires of any
brand (for later compensation) instead of having to wait months
in line for official Firestone replacements. As a result, tens
of thousands of potentially dangerous vehicles were made safer
right away, saving potentially saving dozens of lives on the highway.
Oppenheim also recently won a settlement against the South Broward
Hospital District on behalf of the family of a girl born with
birth defects. According to Oppenheim, it is rare for any plaintiff
to successfully sue a public entity in Florida because of the
state's sovereign immunity laws.
"We look forward to bringing our philosophy of 'do good and well
at the same time' to Florida's west coast," said Oppenheim. "Our
goal has always been to take on cases that not only help individual
clients with a specific problem, but address larger public policy
issues at the same time."
