Nursing home neglect attorneys from Wilkes & McHugh, P.A. represented John Lee Butler, a Korean War veteran who died of starvation. The case led the foreman of this jury to say, "You're not dealing with goldfish you can flush away when they are dead." He and the jury heard testimony about a case that sent shock waves through the Tampa area for its graphic portrayal of negligence at its worst. The jury returned a verdict of $15 million.
