In 2014, he was recognized by the Daily Business Review for achieving one of the top three most-precedent-setting appellate decisions for the State of Florida, let alone the US, in The Republic of Ecuador v. Roberto Isaias Dassum and William Isaias Dassum, Case No. 09-34950, Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, FL, in which the Third District Court of Appeal clarified the Act of State Doctrine and the Extraterritoriality Exception, which had not previously been addressed by Florida courts.
