Hinkle & Foran limits its practice to catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. By handling only a limited number of major cases, we can devote our time and attention to those who need it most. Our clients receive individual attention as our personal injury lawyers seek to maximize their recovery.
D.R. v. Palm Beach County Sheriff
Following six years of litigation and a week long trial in United States District Court in Palm Beach County, Florida, Mr. Hinkle obtained a jury award of $2,000,000. For seven years, our clients, husband and wife, operated an outstanding child day care center in Palm Beach County without any complaints or allegations of improper conduct or any kind. This all changed when a Palm Beach County Sheriff was “too quick on the trigger” and arrested D.R. on a capital felony, without probable cause, violating his Fourth Amendment rights. Unfortunately the District Judge and Court of Appeals ignored the jury’s findings and a judgment was entered for the Deputy finding he had sufficient cause as a matter of law.
