Broad and Cassel fights decorated, disabled war veteran over medical bill

In October of 2017, Debt Relief Law Center filed a lawsuit under the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act against Gold Key Credit and Florida Emergency Physicians Kang & Associates, MD (FEP) because my client was receiving collection letters for medical services that were paid by the VA. I alleged, among other things, that my client was "a decorated combat war veteran with 100% disability." In response to this allegation, Attorney John P. Gaset of Broad and Cassel, LLP responded to that allegation with the following: "FEP moves to strike the allegations contained in this paragraph as they are immaterial, impertinent, and/or scandalous. Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.140(f). In further defending the lawsuit, Broad and Cassel are seeking to recover its client's attorney's fees from this indigent, disabled, combat veteran.
