Litigation Victory: Johnson Pope Secures Full Defense Win in $5 Million Commercial Real Estate Dispute

Johnson Pope is proud to announce a significant litigation victory secured by attorney Chris Bonti on behalf of four defendants in a high-stakes commercial real estate dispute in St. Johns County, Florida.

The case involved a $5 million transaction and more than two years of contested litigation. The plaintiffs brought multiple claims, including breach of contract, tortious interference, and attempts to enforce alleged restrictive covenants. Chris represented the defendants throughout extensive discovery, briefing, and motion practice.

Ultimately, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants on every claim. In addition to shielding our clients from substantial financial exposure, this outcome positions them to seek recovery of attorneys’ fees as prevailing parties under Florida law.

This result highlights Chris Bonti’s depth of experience in real estate litigation, contract disputes, and complex commercial matters, reinforcing Johnson Pope’s ability to deliver results in high-value cases across Florida.
