ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCY SETTLEMENT FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY

I, along with two of my best friends, who are terrific trial lawyers, Louis Silber and John Romano, (our local Palm Beach County Legal Dream Team!), have had the very great pleasure of representing our Palm Beach County Tax Collector, Anne Gannon, against the on-line travel industry in litigation over the on-line travel companies’ liability for Tourist Development Taxes.

We settled the case late last year, although there is no admission of liablity in the settlement by the on-line travel companies, who were represented by a terrific legal team, led here in Florida by my worthy opponent, Steve Siff.Anyway, we got a little good press today in the Palm Beach Post that I thought I would share:
