The Girley's Fight for Justice/ 2024 Eagle Awards

2 Orange County Attorneys Face Possible Discipline from the Florida Bar Attorney Jerry Girly of The Girly law firm represented Dr. Baiywo Rop in a racial discrimination case against Advent Health. A Florida jury awarded Dr. Rop $2.75 million in his suit, but merely a week later the Judge overturned the jury's verdict. Girley, a civil rights attorney talked about the outcome on social media and his daughter, Attorney Brooke Girley - re-tweeted some of those comments. It was discovered that the Judge who had never disclosed that he had represented the hospital, had gone on the Girley's social media pages and screen shot conversations. He claimed the comments were "threatening to him and defaming of the court." Now the father and daughter are facing discipline, not for inappropriate courtroom conduct, but for their speech- that was deemed injustice to the system. With the Florida Bar trying to silence these 2 civil rights attorneys, it is important we bring awareness to the situation.
