The St. Petersburg Times has a story on the jury verdict yesterday for Lisa Holland, a Kwall, Showers & Barack client. The jury found that Ms. Holland was demoted and then fired from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office because of her pregnancy.
The jury agreed that the actions of the Sheriff’s Office in this case were illegal and awarded Ms. Holland $80,000 in back pay and $10,000 in emotional distress.
Ms. Holland was represented by Ryan Barack and Michelle Nadeau of Kwall, Showers & Barack.
The Sheriff’s Office was defended by Tom Gonzalez and Christopher Bentley of Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez & Hearing.
