A Boca Raton man has asked a Palm Beach County judge to approve a contingency fee agreement with a Fort Lauderdale law firm as he prepares to bring a medical malpractice lawsuit over the care of Barbara McManus at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. The petition lays out why he believes a higher fee is justified in what he describes as a complex, high-risk case.
Boca Post Legal Desk
Court filings, lawsuits, criminal case updates, public records, and legal disputes involving Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Broward County, and South Florida.
The Boca Post Legal Desk publishes court-related and public-records reporting for Boca Raton, West Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, Broward County, and surrounding South Florida communities.
Coverage includes civil complaints, lawsuits, criminal case updates, arrest-related court filings, sentencing updates, public records, legal disputes involving local businesses or residents, government-related litigation, and other court matters of local public interest.
Legal Desk reports are based on official court records, public filings, law enforcement documents, clerk records, agency statements, legal notices, and other verified source material. Boca Post works to clearly distinguish between allegations, court filings, law enforcement statements, judicial rulings, plea agreements, convictions, dismissals, and other case outcomes.
Allegations in civil complaints, criminal complaints, arrest reports, probable cause affidavits, and other court filings are reported as allegations unless and until they are proven in court. The filing of a lawsuit or criminal charge does not establish liability or guilt.
The Boca Post Legal Desk does not provide legal advice. Reports are published for news and public-information purposes.
The Legal Desk is overseen by Boca Post editor Mike Thomas. For corrections, tips, records, or questions about Boca Post legal reporting, contact the newsroom.
