Jesse H. Diner Pens Article in Daily Business Review on Benefits to Having a Trial Before a Private Judge

Did you know that lawsuits involving real property, contracts and indebtedness accounted for 71 percent of the 32,145 lawsuits filed in the Miami-Dade Circuit since last June? Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Shareholder Jesse H.
