Prominent Miami attorney Jeremy Alters did not appear to make much headway Monday in persuading the Third District Court of Appeal he should get another shot at proving a former law partner is not entitled to a share of the firm.

The Alters Law Firm was sued in 2011 by Robert B. Brown III, now with Whitfield Bryson & Mason in Coral Gables. While with Alters, Brown was involved in Chinese drywall product liability litigation.
