Making Legal History

The Ferraro Law Firm made legal history as the first and only law firm to successfully prosecute a lawsuit where a child was born with birth defects after our client’s exposure to a chemical. The case of Castillo v. DuPont alleged that our pregnant client’s exposure to DuPont’s best selling fungicide Benlate caused her son to be born without eyes. Before the trial, firm founder James Ferraro participated in three years of discovery, including 63 depositions, and battled more than 60 pretrial motions Court TV covered the trial. In the end, a Florida jury held DuPont accountable and rendered judgment in the family’s favor for $4 million. The Florida Supreme Court upheld the verdict. Since then The Ferraro Law Firm has filed 12 lawsuits for other children born with severe eye defects.

We represent persons injured by toxic chemical exposure throughout Florida, including Miami, Coral Gables, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Fort Myers, Naples, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, Clearwater, Pensacola, Daytona, Gainesville and Palm Beach. We represent divorce and family law clients in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
