Ah, Darnell Dockett. This week he began live-tweeting details about jury duty – never a good idea. But, as the internet detectives have pointed out, the pictures in his tweets appear to be fake, which means he was likely just trolling his twitter followers in hopes of a reaction.
It must be mere coincidence, then, that the Florida Supreme Court has issued new jury instructions about the use of smart phones and social media during jury duty.
Sam began his legal career at one of the largest law firms in Florida, working directly for national insurance companies and health care conglomerates. This valuable experience gives him a definitive edge in knowing how insurers will fight against compensating you for your claim. He then moved to one of the top statewide plaintiff’s firms, gaining insight into insurance coverage and insurance bad faith matters. He joined with Brett Metcalf to begin Metcalf Harden in 2014. Sam is a member of the Florida Justice Association, the American Association for Justice, the Tampa Bay Trial Lawyers Association, and the Hillsborough County Bar Association. He is licensed to practice in all Florida state courts, as well as the federal Middle District of Florida. Sam lives in Lutz with his wife Kristin, a Tampa native, and son Robbie.
