By Jeffrey T. Donner, Esq. August 25, 2026 When Terence Crawford objected to paying the World Boxing Council a substantial sanctioning fee after his fight with Canelo Álvarez, his position was easy to understand at an emotional level. Crawford was the fighter who trained for months, made weight, entered the ring, absorbed punches, and assumed…

By Jeffrey T. Donner, Esq. August 21, 2026 Marine insurance occupies an unusual place in American insurance law. A dispute arising from damage to a yacht, a marina, a dock, a marine construction project, cargo, or a commercial vessel may look superficially like an ordinary insurance coverage case, but the resemblance can be misleading.

By Jeffrey T. Donner, Esq. August 20, 2026 A recent decision from Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal illustrates an important point about complex divorce litigation: the outcome may depend as much on pleadings, preservation, stipulations, and the architecture of the final judgment as it does on substantive family law. In Williams v. Williams, No.…

By Jeffrey T. Donner August 19, 2026 The physical mailbox has become a spam folder that citizens are legally required to monitor.

By Jeffrey T. Donner August 17, 2026 American divorce law and American tax law operate as though they were written by two governments that never spoke to each other. State divorce law can destroy a single-family economic unit, divide it into two households, impose substantial mandatory financial obligations on the father, and require him to…

By Jeffrey T. Donner, Esq. August 10, 2026 A patient who believes that a physician committed malpractice might reasonably assume that the central question in a lawsuit will be whether the physician was negligent. In Florida, however, that assumption can be wrong. Before a jury ever considers whether the medical care fell below the applicable…

By Jeffrey T. Donner, Esq. August 7, 2026 Most clients hire a lawyer because they want someone who will fight for them. That is perfectly understandable. A client who has been damaged, sued, accused, mistreated, or forced into litigation does not want a passive lawyer. The client wants a lawyer who understands the case, believes…
