| Kendall Coffey of Coffey Burlington |
From the Daily Business Review:
"Coffey politely but stridently grilled Shay on the witness stand Thursday, clearly trying to paint him as someone who was calling his own shots in the disputed real estate transactions.
Coffey got Shay to admit that he gave power-of-attorney not to Brown or Souto, but to a member of the condominium sales staff in the Dominican Republic.
Shay also testified he visited the construction sites several times, knew construction was behind schedule and was aware the beachside development hadn't been subdivided, which would indicate he couldn't take title of the plot.
Coffey, in a pleading filed in 2013 arguing against allowing punitive claims, saying the contracts were already signed by the time Shay hired Shutts & Bowen for four months in 2005. The lawsuit boils down to Shay wanting Brown and Souto to negotiate a better deal for him or advise him "this is just a lousy deal, walk away," as the millionaire testified in a deposition."
